FAQs
Can I prepare these sandwiches ahead of time?
It’s best to assemble the sandwiches ahead but fry them just before serving to ensure they stay crispy and fresh.
What can I use instead of cream cheese?
You can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone or ricotta for a different texture and flavor, though cream cheese provides the classic cheesecake taste.

Batter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frying
