Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread (white or brioche)
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Batter Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
For Frying
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 1-2 cups)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy spreading. Slice fresh strawberries evenly and set aside.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread about 1 to 2 tablespoons of cream cheese on one side of each bread slice. Layer sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese on four slices of bread and then cover with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.
- Prepare the egg dip: Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl and beat them until fully combined to create the dipping batter.
- Dip the sandwiches: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Carefully dip each sandwich into the beaten egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not saturated.
- Fry the sandwiches: Place the dipped sandwiches in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Drain and serve: Remove the fried sandwiches from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for optimal flavor and texture.
- Ensure cream cheese is adequately softened to spread easily and avoid tearing the bread.
- Use white or brioche bread for a soft interior and crispy exterior.
- Maintain oil temperature around medium heat to avoid burnt bread or undercooked filling.
- For a sweeter touch, dust sandwiches with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey before serving.
