Creating Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches is simple when you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture on four slices of bread. Layer the sliced strawberries on top of the filling and cover with the remaining slices of bread to create sandwiches.
3. Prepare for Frying: Set up a coating station with three shallow plates. In the first plate, add the flour. In the second plate, put the beaten eggs. In the third plate, spread the breadcrumbs.
4. Coat the Sandwiches: Carefully dip each sandwich first in the flour, coating all sides. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally, coat it with breadcrumbs, ensuring it’s evenly covered.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle immediately.
6. Fry the Sandwiches: Place two to three sandwiches in the hot oil, depending on the size of the skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain the Oil: Once fried, remove the sandwiches and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
8. Dust with Powdered Sugar: While still warm, dust the fried sandwiches with additional powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
9. Slice and Serve: Cut each sandwich in half to reveal the gooey cheesecake and strawberries inside.
