Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Bread:
- 8 slices of brioche bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Creamy Filling:
- 115 grams cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 120 grams fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
- 60 milliliters strawberry preserves
Egg Coating:
- 2 large eggs
- 45 milliliters whole milk
Final Touch:
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy to create the creamy filling that complements the fresh strawberries.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on four slices of brioche bread, leaving a small border around the edges. Layer the thinly sliced fresh strawberries on top, add a spoonful of strawberry preserves over the strawberries, then cover each with another slice of brioche. Gently press the sandwiches to seal them without squishing the filling.
- Prepare the Egg Coating: In a shallow dish, whisk together the two large eggs and whole milk until fully blended, creating a smooth egg wash for coating the sandwiches.
- Coat the Sandwiches: Dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides completely for an even golden crust when frying.
- Pan-Fry: Heat the unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted and hot. Fry the sandwiches for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they turn crisp and golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain any excess butter.
- Serve: Dust the fried sandwiches with powdered sugar, slice each diagonally for a pretty presentation, and serve immediately while warm to enjoy the melty, creamy, and fruity filling.
Notes
- Use brioche bread for its rich, buttery flavor and soft texture which crisps well when fried.
- Make sure the cream cheese is well softened for easier spreading and better texture.
- Fresh strawberries can be substituted with frozen if fresh are out of season, but thaw and drain them first to avoid sogginess.
- Adjust the amount of strawberry preserves based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Use a nonstick skillet to prevent the sandwiches from sticking and to get an even golden crust.
- Serve immediately after frying for optimal texture; leftovers may become soggy.
