Golden Strawberry Sandwiches (Printable Version)
Sweet strawberries and cream cheese stuffed into brioche, dunked in a sugar-cinnamon egg mix, then fried until perfectly crisp and golden brown.
# Ingredients:
→ Sandwich Layers
01 -
8 pieces of challah or brioche bread
02 -
1 cup (150g) sliced fresh strawberries
03 -
2 tablespoons (25g) powdered sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
05 -
8 oz (225g) softened cream cheese
→ Coating Mixture
06 -
2 large eggs
07 -
1 tablespoon (12g) sugar (granulated)
08 -
1/4 cup (60ml) milk
09 -
3 tablespoons (45g) butter or oil for cooking
10 -
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon (1g) cinnamon powder
# Steps:
01 -
Blend cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy in texture.
02 -
Spread the cream cheese mixture on half the bread slices. Add the sliced strawberries over the filling, then gently press the other bread slices on top to close the sandwiches.
03 -
In a flat bowl, beat the eggs with milk, cinnamon (if you're using it), and sugar until the ingredients are blended well.
04 -
Melt butter or heat oil in a pan on medium flame. Quickly dip each sandwich into the egg blend, making sure both sides are coated evenly, then cook them in the pan until each side turns golden and crispy (2-3 minutes per side works fine).
05 -
Take sandwiches out of the pan and let them rest on paper towels to soak up extra oil. Enjoy as-is or with whipped cream, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of chocolate.
# Notes:
01 -
Choose thick bread like challah or brioche so it won’t fall apart in the egg mix.
02 -
Don’t soak the sandwiches too long in the egg mixture—it’ll make them mushy and hard to cook.
03 -
Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the bread before the middle is warmed.
