Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Sandwich & Frying Batter

  • 8 slices white sandwich bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola), about 1-2 cups depending on skillet size

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Chocolate sauce or honey, for drizzling
  • Chopped nuts, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries, mixing carefully to keep fruit pieces intact.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out the white sandwich bread slices. Evenly spread the cheesecake and strawberry mixture onto one slice. Place a second slice on top, pressing the edges gently to seal the filling inside without overstuffing.
  3. Prepare the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. This batter will coat the sandwiches and help create a golden, crispy crust upon frying.
  4. Fry the Sandwiches: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat to 350-375°F. Dip each sandwich into the egg batter, coating both sides thoroughly. Carefully place into the hot oil and fry each side until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the fried sandwiches from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm, melty filling and crispy exterior.

Notes

  • Chill the cheesecake filling before spreading to help it hold together during frying.
  • Avoid overfilling the sandwiches to prevent leaks while frying.
  • Maintain oil temperature between 350-375°F for the best crispy texture without greasiness.
  • Use fresh white sandwich bread rather than day-old for optimal crispness.
  • Work quickly to assemble and fry sandwiches to keep the filling fresh and texture perfect.
