# Ingredients:
→ Sandwich Bread
01 -
8 slices brioche or challah bread
02 -
2 tablespoons butter for frying
→ Creamy Filling
03 -
4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
04 -
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
05 -
½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced thin
06 -
¼ cup strawberry preserves or jam
→ Egg Coating

2 large eggs
08 -
3 tablespoons whole milk

Powdered sugar for dusting
# Steps:
01 -
Beat your softened cream cheese with powdered sugar in a bowl until it's nice and fluffy. You want it smooth and creamy - no lumps allowed!
02 -
Spread that creamy mixture on four slices of bread, leaving a little border so it doesn't ooze out. Layer on your sliced strawberries, then add spoonfuls of strawberry preserves. Top with the remaining bread slices and press gently to seal everything together.
03 -
Whisk those eggs and milk together in a shallow dish until they're well combined. This is what gives your sandwiches that golden, crispy coating.
04 -
Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides get completely coated. Don't rush this step - you want every bit covered for the perfect crust.
05 -
Heat butter in your skillet over medium heat. Cook those beautiful sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side until they're golden brown and crispy. Place them on paper towels to soak up any extra butter.
06 -
Dust with powdered sugar, cut diagonally for that fancy look, and serve while they're still warm. Trust me, they're best eaten right away!
# Tips:
01 -
These taste like French toast and cheesecake had the most delicious baby! Perfect for a special breakfast or dessert.
02 -
Make sure your cream cheese is really soft before mixing - it makes all the difference in getting that smooth, creamy filling.
