These Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches are a decadent and delightful treat combining creamy sweetened cream cheese, fresh strawberries, and luscious strawberry jam between buttery brioche or challah bread. Fried to golden perfection and dusted with powdered sugar, they’re perfect for a special breakfast, brunch, or dessert that feels indulgent yet simple to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Filling

  • 8 slices of 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

Batter and Frying

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a silky spread.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of four bread slices. Layer sliced fresh strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese. Carefully cover with the remaining four bread slices to form sandwiches.
  3. Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. This will form the batter that coats the sandwiches for frying.
  4. Coat the Sandwiches: Gently dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are thoroughly coated but not soggy.
  5. Fry the Sandwiches: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the coated sandwiches into the skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Add remaining butter as needed for frying the other side.
  6. Drain and Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess butter. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving warm.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add chopped nuts such as almonds or pecans to the cream cheese mixture before spreading.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in a skillet or oven until warm.
  • Try substituting strawberry jam with raspberry or apricot jam for a different fruity flavor twist.
