Notes
🔥 Tips for Success Use Softened Cream Cheese: For a smooth filling that’s easy to spread. Seal the Edges Well: Press bread firmly or use a fork to crimp for less leakage. Use Day-Old Bread: Slightly drier bread holds together better while frying. Don’t Overheat the Oil: Medium heat is best to avoid burning the crumbs.
