Variation Ideas
- Air Fryer Version:
Brush sandwiches with melted butter, air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway. - Nutella & Strawberry:
Spread Nutella on the bread before adding the cheesecake filling. - Blueberry Cheesecake Sandwiches:
Swap strawberries for blueberries or use mixed berries. - Cinnamon Roll Bread:
Use cinnamon swirl bread for extra flavor. - Graham Cracker Coating:
Coat the fried sandwiches in crushed graham crackers for cheesecake crust flavor.
COOKING Note
- Don’t fry on high heat—medium is best for a crispy exterior and melted center.
- Make sure edges are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
- Drain strawberries well; too much liquid will make sealing difficult.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm for the best texture.
- Dust with powdered sugar right before serving.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a “fried cheesecake sundae.”
- Drizzle with strawberry or caramel sauce.
- Pair with whipped cream and fresh berries.
Tips
- Roll the bread thin—this helps it fry evenly and seal better.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest texture.
- Try freezing assembled sandwiches for 15 minutes before frying to prevent leaks.
- If oil gets too dark, replace it before frying more batches.
