- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Fold in the diced strawberries. Set aside.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Lay out the bread slices. Spread a generous layer of cheesecake filling on half of the slices.
- Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam on the other half.
- Sandwich the bread slices together, pressing gently to seal the edges.
- Prepare for Frying:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
- In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs and cinnamon.
- Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
- Dredge the sandwiches in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Fry the Sandwiches:
- Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry each sandwich for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Dust the fried sandwiches with powdered sugar.
- Serve with whipped cream and extra sliced strawberries for garnish, if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider experimenting with different jams or fruits in the filling!
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve optimal crispiness.
