Ingredients

Scale

Bread & Filling

8 slices brioche or challah bread
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup strawberry jam

Egg Mixture

2 large eggs
3 tbsp milk

For Frying

2 tbsp butter (for frying)

Instructions

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of four bread slices. Top with sliced strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam. Place the remaining bread slices on top to form sandwiches.
Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended.
Coat the Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, making sure both sides are thoroughly coated without soaking the bread too long.
Fry the Sandwiches: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sandwiches and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Fry in batches if needed, adding additional butter as necessary.
Finish and Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

Use day-old bread for extra sturdiness and to prevent sogging.
Try using different berries or jams to switch up the flavor.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream or fresh whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
