→ 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:
01 -
Combine the powdered sugar and cream cheese in a little bowl. Stir until it's nice and smooth.
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.
03 -
In a flat dish, beat the eggs with the milk until everything’s blended together.
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.
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:
01 -
For crunch, toss some chopped almonds or pecans into the cream cheese mixture.
02 -
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.
03 -
Switch the strawberry jam with raspberry or apricot for a fresh twist.
