# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast but nobody needs to know how fast you threw it together.
  • One bite and you've got that creamy, fruity, toasty thing happening all at once.
  • No baking, no weird techniques—just good bread, good cheese, and strawberries doing what they do best.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese is cold and stiff, it'll tear the bread apart—softening it first is non-negotiable.
  • Don't skip the maceration step with the strawberries; those few minutes of sitting make all the difference between wet berries and an actual sauce.
03 -
  • Assemble everything right before eating—this isn't meant to sit around getting soggy, and the magic happens when it's fresh.
  • If your kitchen is cold, let the assembled toast sit for just thirty seconds before eating so the cream cheese stays creamy and doesn't get too firm.
