Whip up tasty strawberry cheesecake sandwiches from basic ingredients - crunchy toasted bread meets smooth filling and sweet berries. This fun twist gives you all the good stuff in one bite - a crispy outside, soft cheesecake middle, and juicy strawberries, all topped with a light sugar dust. They're great for fancy morning meals or different kinds of sweet treats.

While looking for something new for breakfast, I stumbled on this mix that turns regular ingredients into something really special.

Key Ingredients

  • Soft bread: Try challah or brioche for the tastiest results
  • Softened cream cheese: Let it sit out to mix better
  • Bright strawberries: Pick the sweetest ones you can find
  • Real vanilla: Brings out that cheesecake taste
  • Real butter: Helps get that nice brown outside

Making Your Sandwiches

Whip Up The Middle:
Mix cream cheese with sugar until it's super smooth.
Start The Sandwich:
Put lots of filling on good bread pieces.
Add The Fruit:
Put strawberries and some jam for extra flavor.
Prep For Cooking:
Roll the sandwiches in egg mix all over.
Cook Them Right:
Fry until they're brown on each side.
Watch The Stove:
Don't let them get too dark.
Finish Them Off:
Sprinkle with powdered sugar right before eating.

My grandma always told me good things come to those who wait - trying to rush these sandwiches never works out well.

Tasty Presentation Ideas

Make your breakfast feel fancy by putting these sandwiches on pretty plates with extra berries and mint. Shake some powdered sugar on top and put some berry sauce on the side. You can also offer maple syrup or melted chocolate for dipping. Add a dollop of whipped cream and more fresh strawberries to make it look amazing.

Fun Twists To Try

Switch things up with these sandwiches by trying different fruits. Swap in some raspberries or blueberries, or throw in a mix of all three. Toss in some chocolate chips, or try a strawberry-banana combo. Make them super rich with some Nutella or brighten the filling with a bit of lemon zest.

Keeping Them Fresh

They taste best right away when they're still warm and crispy. If you need to, you can make them ahead and wrap them tight for a day before cooking. Got leftovers? Put them in sealed containers and warm them up in a pan to get them crunchy again. They'll stay good in the fridge for a couple days, but fresh is best.

Ingredients

→ Key Ingredients

01 4 oz soft cream cheese
02 8 slices of challah or brioche
03 ½ cup sliced fresh strawberries
04 3 tbsp milk
05 2 tbsp powdered sugar (extra for sprinkling later)
06 2 tbsp butter (for cooking)
07 2 large eggs
08 ¼ cup strawberry jam

Instructions

Step 01

Combine the powdered sugar and cream cheese in a little bowl. Stir until it's nice and smooth.

Step 02

Take half the bread slices and spread the cream cheese mixture on one side. On top of that, layer some strawberry slices, then a bit of jam. Place another slice of bread over the filling to make a sandwich.

Step 03

In a flat dish, beat the eggs with the milk until everything’s blended together.

Step 04

Soak both sides of each sandwich in the egg mix. Warm up a skillet over medium heat and melt some butter. Lay the sandwiches in the pan and cook them for a couple of minutes on each side until toasty and golden.

Step 05

Once they've browned, remove them and drain them on a plate with paper towels. Before eating, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top.

Notes

  1. For crunch, toss some chopped almonds or pecans into the cream cheese mixture.
  2. Uncooked sandwiches can be frozen for up to a month. You can fry them straight from the freezer, but add extra 1–2 minutes per side.
  3. Switch the strawberry jam with raspberry or apricot for a fresh twist.
