Directions
- Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
- Rinse the strawberries, dry them, trim the ends, and cut them lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices; set aside.
- Place the bread on a clean surface and evenly spread the softened cream cheese on all slices.
- Top half of the bread slices with a layer of strawberry slices, then cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
- Gently press the sandwiches to compact the fillings and keep them together.
- Cut each sandwich in half and arrange on plates to serve.
Two tips
- Prep tip: Soften the cream cheese ahead of time so it spreads smoothly.
- Serving tip: Serve with extra strawberry slices on the side or use light cream cheese for a lighter version.
