Assemble the sandwiches:
ADVERTISEMENT
- Take a slice of bread and spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto it.
- Top with another slice of bread and press the edges firmly together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges or cut into triangles or rounds with a cutter.
Prepare the coating:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together.
- In another bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together.
Fry the sandwiches:
- Heat a little butter or oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
- Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides, which should take about 2–3 minutes per side.
Coat in cinnamon sugar:
- While still warm, roll the fried sandwiches in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Serve warm.
- Optionally, dust with icing sugar or drizzle with chocolate or strawberry sauce.
- For the best texture, serve immediately.
📝 Tips:
- Freeze them for 15 minutes before frying to help them stay sealed better.
- Try adding Nutella and strawberries for a twist!
- Use brioche or Texas toast for a richer flavour.
ENJOY!
