# Ingredients:
→ Sandwiches
01 -
8 slices of bread
02 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
03 -
1 cup of strawberries, finely chopped
04 -
1/4 cup powdered sugar
05 -
1 cup softened cream cheese
→ Coating
06 -
1/2 cup milk
07 -
2 large eggs
08 -
Oil to fry
09 -
1 cup breadcrumbs
→ Serving (Optional)
10 -
Chocolate drizzle
11 -
A sprinkle of powdered sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by mixing the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla together in a bowl until you get a nice smooth texture. Gently fold in your strawberries so they're evenly spread throughout.
02 -
Take four slices of bread and spread the creamy mixture across them evenly. Lay the other four slices on top, and lightly press them together to form sandwiches.
03 -
In one shallow dish, stir the eggs and milk together until mixed. In another shallow dish, spread the breadcrumbs out flat.
04 -
Dip a sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides well. Then press it into the breadcrumbs, flipping it so the whole thing gets covered.
05 -
Heat oil in a big frying pan over medium heat. Cook each sandwich until both sides are a crispy golden color—this should take about two or three minutes per side. Place them on paper towels to soak up any extra oil.
06 -
Serve these delicious sandwiches while they're warm. Add powdered sugar on top or drizzle some chocolate if you'd like!
# Notes:
01 -
Any bread works, but softer options like challah or brioche make it even better
02 -
Be sure the cream cheese is soft for smooth blending
03 -
Fresh strawberries are best, but thawed frozen ones will work in a pinch
