# What You’ll Need:

# How-To Steps:

01 - Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp using a toaster or skillet.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast but won't leave you in a food coma.
  • The whole thing comes together faster than you can brew coffee, yet feels completely homemade.
  • Fresh strawberries cut through the richness in a way that makes you want another bite immediately.
02 -
  • Cold cream cheese will frustrate you and lump up. Let it sit on the counter while you toast the bread, and you'll have a much smoother experience.
  • The maceration step with strawberries isn't just a fancy word, it's the difference between crisp fruit and juicy, concentrated flavor that actually soaks into your toast.
03 -
  • If your strawberries aren't particularly sweet, macerate them in honey for a few minutes before assembling, which brings out their natural flavor.
  • Keep everything warm when you assemble, then eat immediately, because cool toast is the enemy of this dish.
