Creating Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.

2. Add Strawberries: Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.

3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese and strawberry mixture onto four slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices to create sandwiches.

4. Prepare for Frying: Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs.

5. Bread the Sandwiches: Take each sandwich, coat it in flour, dip it in the egg, and then coat it with breadcrumbs until fully covered.

6. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about an inch of oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

7. Fry the Sandwiches: Carefully add the breaded sandwiches to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

8. Drain Excess Oil: Once fried, remove the sandwiches from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

9. Serve Warm: Slice the sandwiches in half, if desired, and serve warm with whipped cream on the side.
