06 -

07 -
60 ml whole milk
08 -
25 g graham cracker crumbs for the outside (totally up to you)

30 g unsalted butter
→ For Finishing
12 -
Sliced strawberries on top
13 -
Sprinkle of powdered sugar for dusting
14 -
A bit of honey or maple syrup to drizzle, if you fancy
# Steps:
01 -
Move the hot sandwiches onto paper towels, let the butter soak away. Cut them up. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, scatter strawberries, and maybe a drizzle of syrup or honey if that's your style.
02 -
Toss the sandwiches into a nonstick pan with butter melting over medium heat. Flip 'em after 2 or 3 minutes, you want the sides all golden and crunchy.
03 -
Soak each sandwich in the eggy mix. Make sure every edge gets some love. If you're feeling it, roll them through graham crumbs too.
04 -
Whisk your eggs, milk, and that cinnamon together in a wide bowl or dish. Doesn't take long, just get it all mixed.
05 -
Get 4 bread slices and spread your strawberry filling over them. Top with the other bread pieces. Push all the way around the edges to seal the filling in.
06 -
Mix up the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until there are no lumps. Fold in chunks of strawberries and spoonfuls of jam last, gentle now.
# Notes:
01 -
Dry off strawberries so you don't end up with mushy insides.
02 -
Make sure to squeeze those bread edges together well or stuff will spill while you fry.
