Ingredients
Cream Cheese
For the filling, you will need 8 ounces of cream cheese. This ingredient provides the rich and creamy base for your cheesecake filling. Make sure it’s softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
Powdered Sugar
Add 1 cup of powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture. The powdered sugar sweetens the filling while keeping it smooth and silky. It also helps balance the tartness of strawberries.
Fresh Strawberries
Use 1 cup of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced. These juicy berries add natural sweetness and a lovely texture to your sandwich. Choose ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
Bread Slices
You will need 4 slices of thick bread such as brioche or Texas toast. Thick bread helps hold up the filling well and creates a satisfying crunch when fried.
Eggs
Prepare 2 large eggs for egg wash. Beaten eggs help create a golden-brown coating on the sandwiches during frying. They act as glue that holds everything together.
Milk
You will require 1/2 cup of milk to mix with eggs for egg wash. This combination allows for a smoother application over the bread before frying.
Oil
Heat enough oil in a deep pan or fryer for frying (approximately 2 cups). Choosing oil with a high smoke point like canola or vegetable oil ensures even cooking and prevents burning.
