Ingredients

• 8 slices light sandwich bread (crusts removed)
• 4 oz light cream cheese, softened
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 tbsp strawberry jam or fresh mashed strawberries
• Light butter or nonstick spray (for frying)
• Optional: more powdered sugar or cinnamon for dusting

Instructions

1. Mix the Filling
In a small bowl, blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.

2. Assemble the Sandwiches
Flatten each slice of bread slightly with a rolling pin. Spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture on one slice, then add a spoonful of strawberry jam or fresh berries. Top with another slice of bread and press edges to seal (use a fork to crimp edges if needed).

3. Cook Until Golden
Lightly grease a nonstick skillet with butter or spray. Cook sandwiches over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.

4. Finish and Serve
Dust with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar or cinnamon if desired. Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.

Tips for Success

Use Thin, Soft Bread: Easier to seal and fry evenly.
Seal Well: Press edges firmly to prevent the filling from leaking while cooking.
Go Fresh or Fruity: Substitute strawberry jam with fresh chopped strawberries for even less sugar.
Air Fry Option: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway for a crispy finish without extra oil.
