½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
4 tbsp strawberry jam
2 eggs

In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of 4 slices of bread.
Top with sliced strawberries and 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam per sandwich.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top and gently press to seal.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides well.

Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
Brioche or challah is best for texture and flavor.
You can substitute jam with preserves or any berry compote.
