# Ingredients:
→ Sandwiches
01 -
8 bread slices
02 -
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
03 -
1 cup strawberries, chopped small
04 -
1/4 cup icing sugar
05 -
1 cup cream cheese at room temperature
→ Coating
06 -
1/2 cup milk
07 -
2 eggs, big ones
08 -
Oil for frying
09 -
1 cup breadcrumbs
→ Serving (Optional)
10 -
Melted chocolate
11 -
Extra icing sugar to dust
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a bowl and mix the icing sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla till smooth. Throw in your strawberries and fold them through gently so they spread out evenly.
02 -
Grab four bread slices and smear the strawberry mix all over them. Pop the remaining slices on top and push down slightly to make proper sandwiches.
03 -
Mix up the eggs and milk in one flat dish until they're combined well. Pour breadcrumbs into another flat dish, spreading them out.
04 -
Take each sandwich and dunk it in the egg mix, making sure both sides get wet. Then roll it in the breadcrumbs until it's totally covered.
05 -
Warm up some oil in a pan on medium heat. Drop in each sandwich and cook until it turns a nice golden brown - about 2-3 minutes each side. Pop them on paper towels to get rid of extra oil.
06 -
These yummy treats taste best when they're still warm. If you want, dust some icing sugar on top or add a bit of chocolate drizzle!
# Notes:
01 -
You can use any type of bread, but softer kinds like challah or brioche make it tastier
02 -
Make sure your cream cheese isn't cold or it won't mix well
03 -
Go with fresh strawberries if you can, but defrosted frozen ones work too
