• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• ½ cup strawberry preserves or fresh strawberries, sliced

2. Assemble the Sandwiches
   Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on 4 slices of bread.
   Add a spoonful of strawberry preserves or a layer of fresh strawberry slices.
   Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
3. Fry the Sandwiches
   Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
   Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
