Strawberry and Mint Mascarpone Toast

By Sweet July

Strawberries and cream is a classic combination that can rarely go wrong, but let’s take a second to talk about how very right this dish is.

Serves: 2

For starters, it’s crazy versatile. There is absolutely no reason why you can’t enjoy this for breakfast, but it’s also satisfying enough for a summer dessert.

We especially love the idea of these incorporated into a brunch spread; you can easily cut them into halves or quarters to make them easy to share. But the real kicker that makes this dish a must try is the layers of flavor that give you all the strawberry shortcake vibes with about a fraction of the effort. The only trick here is to make sure to sample your strawberries for sweetness first and adjust the other elements accordingly.

- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
