In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Spread a layer of the cream cheese filling on one side of each of the 4 slices. Add sliced strawberries on top, and press another slice on top to create a sandwich.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a dash of vanilla extract until well combined.

Dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture for about 10-15 seconds per side, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow excess to drip off.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Wait for it to bubble before frying.

Fry the coated sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary.

Dust cooked sandwiches with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup, fresh strawberries, or whipped cream.
