For the Drizzle (optional):
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture generously on one side of four slices of bread. Top with sliced strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam. Place the other slices of bread on top and press gently to seal.
Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt until smooth.
Heat the Oil: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Coat and Fry: Dip each sandwich into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Fry each sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the fried sandwiches with sweetened condensed milk, if desired. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve with fresh strawberries on the side.
