Sandwich Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread (white or brioche recommended)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Batter and Frying
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for egg wash)
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 1-2 cups)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sandwich Filling: Spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese on 4 slices of bread. Evenly distribute the sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese, then cover each with the remaining 4 slices of bread to form sandwiches.
- Dip the Sandwiches: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs together with milk until well combined. Dip each sandwich into the egg wash, making sure both sides are fully coated for a perfect crispy crust.
- Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet or frying pan to a depth of about 1 inch. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C), or until a small piece of bread sizzles immediately upon contact.
- Fry the Sandwiches: Carefully place the egg-coated sandwiches into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to gently flip the sandwiches to avoid breaking.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fried sandwiches from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow to cool slightly, then serve warm for the best creamy and crunchy contrast.
Notes
- Use sturdy bread like brioche or Texas toast for best results.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to spread easily and avoid tearing bread.
- Adjust frying time if your stove runs hotter or cooler, to avoid burning.
- Optional: sprinkle powdered sugar or drizzle honey on top before serving.
