Ingredients
4 slices white bread or brioche
4 oz cream cheese
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped strawberries
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon butter
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
1. Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and fluffy.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook strawberries with granulated sugar until juices release and the mixture thickens slightly. Let cool.
3. Spread cheesecake filling on two slices of bread. Add a spoonful of strawberry compote, then top with remaining bread to form sandwiches. Press gently.
4. Whisk eggs, milk, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Dip each sandwich into the mixture, coating all sides.
5. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry sandwiches for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
6. Let rest on a paper towel-lined plate. Slice, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
This is best served warm for the ultimate gooey texture.
For extra richness, try using pound cake instead of bread.
Use fresh strawberries for the brightest flavor, but frozen works in a pinch.
