Ingredients for Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches

You don’t need anything fancy—just a handful of fresh, familiar ingredients:

  • Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah are best!)
  • Cream cheese, softened
  • Powdered sugar (a little inside, a little for dusting—because pretty matters)
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Strawberry jam (adds that sweet-tangy layer of wow)
  • Eggs, beaten
  • Milk (just a splash to loosen the eggs)
  • Butter, for frying

Pro Tip: Brioche is your bestie here. Its soft, pillowy texture gets perfectly golden when fried—and tastes like dessert all on its own.

How to Make Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches

This recipe comes together in less than 20 minutes, so let’s jump right in:

1. Mix the Creamy Filling

In a small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Whip it until smooth and creamy—like the inside of your favorite cheesecake.

2. Assemble the Sandwich

Spread a generous layer of your cream cheese mixture on a slice of bread. Then pile on the sliced strawberries and a good spoonful of strawberry jam. Top with another slice of bread and press gently—like a little dessert hug.

3. Make the Egg Dip

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. This is your golden coating magic.

4. Dip and Fry

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides well. Fry in the skillet for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they’re golden and crispy.

Note: If your kitchen starts to smell like a summer fair, you’re doing it right.

5. Let Them Rest

Transfer the sandwiches to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any extra butter.

6. Finish with Flair

Dust with powdered sugar like you’re on a cooking show. Serve warm—and prepare for compliments.

Cooking Tips for Crispy, Creamy Perfection

  • Don’t skimp on the cream cheese. This is a cheesecake sandwich—go big or go home.
  • Use day-old bread if you can. Slightly stale bread holds up better when dipped.
  • Don’t overfill with jam or fruit—it’ll make flipping messy. Delicious, but messy.
  • Wipe the skillet between batches to prevent burning the butter.

A Little Story from My Kitchen

The first time I made these, I was testing recipes late at night—because that’s what food bloggers do for fun. I whipped one up, thinking it’d be a little treat for myself. But then my teenager wandered in, took one bite… and the rest vanished before I could even get a photo. Now, it’s our go-to “let’s make something fun” recipe for lazy Sundays or surprise dessert nights.

FAQs About Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Sure! Just thaw and pat them dry first. Too much moisture will make the sandwich soggy.

What other fillings can I try?

Swap strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or even peanut butter and banana for a twist. The cream cheese base plays nice with pretty much anything.

How do I store leftovers?

Wrap any uneaten sandwiches in foil and keep in the fridge. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to bring back that crispiness.
