Brioche Bread:
- 8 slices
Strawberries:

Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/3 cup milk
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

Instructions
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of the cheesecake filling onto one side of each bread slice. Layer strawberry slices over half of the slices, then top with the remaining bread to form sandwiches.
- Dip in Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- Fry the Sandwiches: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry sandwiches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
- Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: In a separate small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Once fried, immediately coat each sandwich in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Serve: Serve warm with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
Notes
- You can customize the filling with different fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of almond extract to the cheesecake filling.
