Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Spread cream cheese on two bread slices, then layer with strawberry slices. Top with remaining bread to make 2 sandwiches.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk eggs, milk, and sugar in a shallow bowl until smooth and well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Heat butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Dip each sandwich into egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly but not soaking. Place in the hot skillet.

  5. Step 5

    Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and edges look crispy. The center should feel soft when pressed.

  6. Step 6

    Slide onto a plate and serve immediately with extra fresh strawberries on the side.
