These Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches are a decadent dessert featuring creamy sweetened cream cheese and fresh strawberries sandwiched between brioche or challah bread slices, dipped in an egg wash, pan-fried to golden perfection, and dusted with powdered sugar. Crispy on the outside and luscious on the inside, they make a quick and indulgent treat perfect for brunch or a special dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich

  • 8 slices brioche or challah bread
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam

Egg Wash & Cooking

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp butter (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until smooth and well mixed.
  2. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread about 1 tablespoon of the sweetened cream cheese mixture evenly on four slices of bread. Top each with sliced fresh strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam. Cover each with another slice of bread to form a sandwich.
  3. Make Egg Wash: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until fully combined.
  4. Dip Sandwiches: Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg wash, ensuring both sides are coated evenly but not soaked through.
  5. Heat Butter: Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, spreading it evenly across the pan.
  6. Fry Sandwiches: Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to turn them gently to avoid filling spilling out.
  7. Serve: Remove from heat and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter. Dust the sandwiches generously with powdered sugar before serving warm.

Notes

  • Use brioche or challah bread for the best texture and flavor as they are slightly sweet and hold filling well.
  • Do not soak the bread too long in the egg wash to prevent sogginess or falling apart.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture; sandwiches are best enjoyed warm.
  • You can substitute strawberry jam with any berry jam of choice.
  • Fresh strawberries add a nice texture contrast, but can be swapped for other fresh fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
