Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices brioche or challah bread
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for frying)

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and spreadable.
  • Lay out 4 slices of brioche. Spread the sweetened cream cheese evenly to the edges of each slice.
  • Top with a single layer of sliced strawberries and a light spoonful of strawberry jam. Cap each with a second slice of bread and press gently to seal.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk eggs and milk until no streaks remain.
  • Preheat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and let it melt and lightly sizzle.
  • Dip one sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides briefly and letting excess drip off. Place in the hot skillet.
  • Fry 2–3 minutes per side, until deep golden and crisp, adding small pats of butter as needed and adjusting heat to maintain steady browning.
  • Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
  • Dust generously with powdered sugar, slice diagonally, and serve warm.
