In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture on two slices of bread and top with sliced strawberries.
Place the other two slices of bread on top to form sandwiches.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, baking powder, and salt to create a batter.
Dip each sandwich into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Coat the battered sandwiches in breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the sandwiches until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
