Fried Cheesecake Sandwich
A deliciously crispy and sweet sandwich filled with rich cream cheese, perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a snack.
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 package cream cheese (8 oz, softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Sandwich
- 8 slices bread (white or brioche)
For the Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
For Frying
- to taste cooking oil for frying
- optional additional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
Assembly
- Take four slices of bread. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on each of them. Place the remaining bread slices on top to create sandwiches.
Egg Mixture
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until fully combined.
Frying
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated.
- Place the dipped sandwiches in the hot skillet. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil if needed.
- Once fried, transfer the sandwiches to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serving
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Slice in half for a delicious treat!
Notes
These sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for a crispy texture. Avoid overcooking and ensure to drain on paper towels after frying.
