Ingredients
Scale
Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Sandwiches
- 8 slices of bread
Breading and Frying
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, chopped strawberries, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well blended.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the strawberry cream cheese mixture evenly on 4 slices of bread. Top each with a remaining bread slice to form 4 sandwiches.
- Prepare the Breading: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until fully combined.
- Dip and Coat: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Then press into the breadcrumbs to cover completely.
- Heat the Oil: Pour enough oil into a pan to cover the bottom and heat over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Fry the Sandwiches: Place each breaded sandwich carefully into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove sandwiches from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for better texture and easier frying.
- Ensure oil temperature is medium to prevent burning while allowing the filling to warm through.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
- Can be dusted with powdered sugar or served with a drizzle of honey or chocolate sauce.
- Handle hot oil safely and avoid overcrowding the pan when frying.
