Sandwich Ingredients
- 8 slices of white sandwich bread
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Batter & Frying Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 1/2 inch deep)
- Optional: powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, soften the cream cheese until smooth. Wash, hull, and slice the fresh strawberries evenly to create the sandwich filling.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on one side of 4 bread slices. Top the cream cheese with an even layer of sliced strawberries, then cover with the remaining 4 bread slices, pressing lightly to seal.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. This will serve as the dipping batter.
- Dip Sandwiches: Carefully dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly but gently to avoid breaking the sandwich.
- Heat Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet or frying pan to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches approximately 350°F (175°C), or when a small piece of bread sizzles immediately on contact.
- Fry the Sandwiches: Place the dipped sandwiches carefully into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, turning gently using tongs or a spatula, until each side is golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the sandwiches from oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Optionally, dust the sandwiches with powdered sugar before serving warm.
Notes
- Use day-old or slightly stale bread to help the sandwich hold up better during frying.
- Maintain oil temperature to ensure even frying without absorbing excess oil.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, as the fried coating can soften over time.
- You can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a richer flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread slices.
