Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced

1/4 cup whipped cream (optional for extra fluffiness)

For the Sandwich:

4 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or Texas toast)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)

Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Coating:

1 cup crushed graham crackers

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting after frying)

Optional: extra strawberries and whipped cream for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.

      - Gently fold in the finely diced strawberries. If desired, add whipped cream for a lighter texture. Set aside.

        Assemble the Sandwiches:

          - Spread an even layer of the cheesecake filling on two slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices to form two sandwiches. Press them down gently.

            Prepare the Batter:

              - In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add cinnamon and mix well until fully combined.

                Coat the Sandwiches:

                  - Dust each sandwich lightly with flour, making sure to cover the sides. This helps the batter adhere better.

                    Dip in Egg Mixture:

                      - Dip each sandwich into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow any excess to drip off.

                        Crust the Sandwiches:

                          - Immediately press each sandwich into the crushed graham crackers, covering both sides evenly to create a crunchy crust.

                            Fry the Sandwiches:

                              - In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the sandwiches and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

                                Drain and Serve:

                                  - Once golden, remove the sandwiches from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness.

                                    Garnish and Enjoy:

                                      - Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm. Optional: garnish with extra strawberries and whipped cream for an indulgent touch.
