1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup diced fresh strawberries
For the Sandwiches:
8 slices sandwich bread (white or brioche recommended)

1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
For Topping:
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Extra fresh strawberries or strawberry syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in diced strawberries. - Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Spread the filling onto 4 slices of bread.
- Top with the remaining slices, pressing edges gently to seal. Trim crusts for a neat finish, if desired.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar (if using), and cinnamon. - Coat the Sandwiches:
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating evenly without soaking too long. - Fry the Sandwiches:
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a frying pan over medium heat (175°C/350°F).
- Fry sandwiches 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve:
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh strawberries or syrup.
Notes
Substitute strawberries with other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for variety.
For a lighter option, bake sandwiches at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Use whole-grain bread for a healthier twist.
