Ingredients
  

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

4 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or challah)

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

1 cup crushed graham crackers

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Oil for frying

Whipped cream and additional strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Fold in the sliced strawberries gently, being careful not to mash them. Set aside.

    Assemble the Sandwiches: Take two slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the cheesecake filling on one slice. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling.

      Prepare for Frying: In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk until fully combined. In another shallow dish, mix the crushed graham crackers with the cinnamon.

        Coat the Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture first, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge it in the graham cracker mixture, pressing gently to make sure the crumbs stick well.

          Fry the Sandwiches: In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwiches in the oil, frying them for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they're golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

            Drain and Serve: Once fried, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before slicing in half.

              Garnish and Enjoy: Serve the fried sandwiches warm, topped with whipped cream and additional strawberries for an extra touch.
