Ingredients
- Bread (white, brioche, or whole grain)
- Full-fat cream cheese
- Fresh strawberries (or frozen, drained)
- Granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
- Egg (for egg wash)
- Cinnamon or vanilla extract (optional)
- Butter (for frying)
Instructions
- Wash and hull strawberries, then slice into small pieces. Mix with sugar and a dash of cinnamon in a bowl.
- Beat cream cheese with more sugar until smooth in another bowl, then combine with the strawberry mixture.
- Lay out slices of bread, spread cream cheese and strawberry filling on one slice, and top with another slice to form a sandwich.
- Whisk one egg with a tablespoon of water or milk in a small bowl for an egg wash.
- Dip the edges of each sandwich into the egg wash.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter, and fry the sandwiches until golden (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with chocolate sauce, if desired.
Notes
For a sweeter filling, try cream cheese frosting instead of plain cream cheese. Use other berries like blueberries or raspberries as alternatives.
