Ingredients
- Brioche (400g / 14oz, 8 slices): For a rich, buttery base.

- Whole Milk (240ml / 1 cup): Adds richness to the custard.
- Cream Cheese (120g / ½ cup, softened): The star of the cheesecake filling.
- Fresh Strawberries (150g / 1 cup, diced): For classic cheesecake flavor.

- Vanilla Extract (1 tsp / 5ml): Enhances the overall flavor.
- Ground Cinnamon (1 tsp): Adds a cozy spice.
- Unsalted Butter (30g / 2 Tbsp, melted): Adds richness and helps soaking.
- Pistachios (60g / ½ cup, chopped & toasted): Provides crunch and nutty flavor.
- Brown Sugar (30g / ¼ cup): Adds caramel sweetness to the crumble.
- All-Purpose Flour (15g / 1 Tbsp): Binds the crumble.
- Salt (Pinch): Balances the sweetness.
- Powdered Sugar (Optional): For dusting.
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: Combine cream cheese, strawberries, sugar, and vanilla.
- Make Crumble: Brown butter, add sugar, flour, pistachios, and salt.
- Whisk Custard: Combine eggs, milk, butter, cinnamon, and salt.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread filling on brioche, top with another slice.
- Soak in Custard: Dip sandwiches in custard for 30-60 seconds per side.

Notes
For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and ripe, in-season strawberries. Toasting the pistachios enhances their flavor. Don’t oversoak the brioche to prevent sogginess.
