Description
Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches are a delightful treat that combines the creamy goodness of cheesecake with the sweet, juicy flavor of strawberries, featuring a crispy exterior and warm, gooey filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of bread
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Oil for frying (about 1 cup)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and creamy. Set aside.
- Take two slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese and strawberry mixture on one slice. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat this process for the remaining slices of bread and filling.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, pour in enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan (about 1/2 inch deep). Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg wash, ensuring both sides are coated. Once coated, gently place the sandwich in the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once fried, remove the sandwiches from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still warm, sprinkle a little sugar on top for added sweetness.
Notes
- Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- To reheat, place them in a toaster oven or air fryer for a few minutes until warm and crispy again.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the cream cheese mixture.
