Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat 200 g of cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract using an electric mixer. Mix until the cream cheese becomes smooth, fluffy, and creamy. This step is crucial for achieving the smooth texture of the cheesecake filling, which will be spread easily onto the bread.
2️⃣ Assemble the Sandwiches
- Spread a generous amount of the cheesecake filling onto one slice of each piece of bread. The filling should cover the entire slice, creating a creamy base for the strawberries.
- Layer 6–8 fresh strawberry slices on top of the cheesecake filling. You can arrange them evenly or pile them higher for a more abundant filling, depending on your preference.
- Place another slice of bread on top of the strawberries, pressing gently to form a sandwich. Make sure the edges are sealed to prevent the filling from spilling out during frying.
3️⃣ Frying
- In a frying pan, melt 1–2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and sizzle, creating a golden and slightly crispy surface for the sandwiches.
- Carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the pan and fry them for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy. The cheesecake filling inside will stay soft and creamy, while the outside becomes beautifully toasted and warm.
4️⃣ Serve
- Once the sandwiches are fried to golden perfection, remove them from the pan and place them on a serving plate.
- If desired, garnish the sandwiches with a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness, or drizzle with chocolate sauce for an indulgent finish.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. These sandwiches are perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee or tea.
