Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of 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
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp butter (for frying)
Instructions
- 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.
