🛒 Ingredients
- 8 slices of white bread (crusts removed)
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ cup strawberry jam (or fresh mashed strawberries)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ cup sugar (for coating)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Oil for frying
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Spread a layer of cream cheese mixture and strawberry jam on one slice of bread.
Top with another slice and press edges gently to seal.
2. Prepare the Coating
In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk.
In another bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon for rolling later.
3. Fry the Sandwiches
Heat about ½ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Dip each sandwich quickly into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
Fry 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
4. Coat & Serve
Remove from oil and immediately roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Slice diagonally and serve warm — optionally topped with whipped cream or fresh strawberries.
🌟 Tips & Variations
- Use brioche or challah bread for extra softness.
- Try blueberry or raspberry jam for a flavor twist.
- For a lighter version, air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–7 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Drizzle with melted white chocolate for a decadent finish.
