• ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the Sandwiches:

• 8 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah recommended)
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

For the Coating:

• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup breadcrumbs

For Frying:

• Vegetable or canola oil

To Serve:

• Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

2. Assemble the Sandwiches

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on four slices of bread. Top with sliced strawberries, then cover with the remaining bread slices. Press gently to seal.

3. Prepare the Breading Station

Set up three bowls:

• Bowl 1: Mix sugar and flour.
• Bowl 2: Pour in the milk.
• Bowl 3: Fill with breadcrumbs.

4. Coat the Sandwiches

Dip each sandwich into the milk, then coat with the sugar-flour mixture, and finally, cover it in breadcrumbs.

5. Fry Until Golden

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, until crispy and golden brown.

6. Drain & Serve

Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm with whipped cream on top.

Tips for the Best Fried Cheesecake Sandwiches

• Use thick bread – It holds up better when fried.
• Fresh strawberries work best – Frozen ones release too much moisture.
• Make it extra indulgent – Add a drizzle of chocolate or a dusting of powdered sugar.
• Check the oil temperature – If it’s not hot enough, the sandwiches can turn greasy instead of crispy.
