Ingredients
Bread and Filling
- 8 slices brioche or challah bread
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoon powdered sugar plus more for dusting
- ½ cup fresh strawberries sliced
- ¼ cup strawberry jam
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoon milk
- 2 tablespoon butter for frying
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of four bread slices.
- Add sliced strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese layer. Cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
For extra crunch, try adding chopped nuts, such as almonds or pecans, to the cream cheese mixture. 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 warmed through. For a twist, substitute strawberry jam with raspberry or apricot jam.
