Ingredients:
8 slices of thick white bread (you can also use brioche or challah for extra richness)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (for an extra crunch)
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the diced strawberries and mix well. Set aside.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Take two slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the cheesecake filling on one side of each slice. Press the slices together to form a sandwich, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.
Coat the Sandwiches: In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, milk, and egg to create a batter. In another dish, place the panko breadcrumbs. Dip each sandwich first into the batter, coating it well, and then dredge it in the panko breadcrumbs until fully covered.
Fry the Sandwiches: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwiches into the oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Make sure to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Drain and Serve: Remove the fried sandwiches from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before cutting them into halves or quarters.
Optional Garnish: Sprinkle the fried sandwiches with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for an extra touch of indulgence.
