# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 oz softened cream cheese
02 -
8 slices of challah or brioche bread
03 -
2 tablespoons powdered sugar (save more for sprinkling)
04 -
1/4 cup strawberry preserves
05 -
1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
06 -
2 eggs, large
07 -
3 tablespoons milk
08 -
2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
# Instructions:
01 -
Use a small bowl to mix powdered sugar into the cream cheese. Stir it well until it becomes creamy and smooth.
02 -
Spread the sweet cream cheese evenly over four slices of bread. Add a layer of strawberry slices and a bit of jam on top. Close the sandwiches with the other slices of bread.
03 -
In a dish that's shallow and wide, beat together the eggs and milk using a whisk.
04 -
Take each sandwich and dip both sides into the egg mixture to cover them completely.
05 -
Warm up 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan on medium heat. Cook the sandwiches until both sides turn a golden color, about 2 to 3 minutes each.
06 -
Take the sandwiches out of the skillet and lay them on a plate covered with paper towels to soak up excess grease. Shake some extra powdered sugar on top before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Adding crushed nuts, like pecans or almonds, to the cream cheese mix can add a crunchy texture.
02 -
Store any extras in the fridge for no more than 2 days, or freeze them for as long as 1 month. Warm them back up in the oven or a frying pan.
03 -
Switch up the flavor by using apricot or raspberry jam instead of strawberry.
