Add diced strawberries to a small bowl with sugar. Stir and let them sit for 5–10 minutes to release their juices.
If you want a thicker filling, sprinkle the cornstarch and stir.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches
Lay the bread slices flat and gently roll each one with a rolling pin until thin.
Spread about 1–1½ tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture onto 4 slices of bread.
Top with a spoonful of strawberry mixture (drain off excess juice if too wet).
Place another slice of flattened bread on top and press the edges firmly to seal.
Use a fork to crimp the edges for a tight seal.
Step 4: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and sugar.
Dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
Step 5: Fry the Sandwiches
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches gently into the hot oil. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side until crispy and golden.
Remove and place on a paper towel–lined plate.
Step 6: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish.
While sandwiches are still warm, press each side into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat completely.
Variation Ideas
Air Fryer Version:
Brush sandwiches with melted butter, air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway.
Nutella & Strawberry:
Spread Nutella on the bread before adding the cheesecake filling.
Blueberry Cheesecake Sandwiches:
Swap strawberries for blueberries or use mixed berries.
Cinnamon Roll Bread:
Use cinnamon swirl bread for extra flavor.
Graham Cracker Coating:
Coat the fried sandwiches in crushed graham crackers for cheesecake crust flavor.
Don’t fry on high heat—medium is best for a crispy exterior and melted center.
Make sure edges are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
Drain strawberries well; too much liquid will make sealing difficult.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm for the best texture.
Dust with powdered sugar right before serving.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a “fried cheesecake sundae.”
Drizzle with strawberry or caramel sauce.
Pair with whipped cream and fresh berries.
Tips
Roll the bread thin—this helps it fry evenly and seal better.
Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest texture.
Try freezing assembled sandwiches for 15 minutes before frying to prevent leaks.
If oil gets too dark, replace it before frying more batches.
