Super Simple Bread Recipe: Enchanting Strawberry Open-Faced Sandwich & Toast
A delightful and easy bread recipe perfect for a snack: the Strawberry Open-Faced Sandwich. This recipe brings a touch of magic to your table.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 6 fresh strawberries
- A pinch of mustard (optional)
- A pinch of butter
- 1 slice of cheese
- A pinch of powdered sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather all the ingredients for your delightful strawberry open-faced sandwich. Wash the strawberries and remove their stems. It’s best if the bread slices are slightly dried at room temperature before toasting. Prepare to cut the cheese slice into flower shapes.
Step 2
Melt a knob of butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted and shimmering, place the two slices of bread in the pan. Toast them, flipping occasionally, until they are golden brown and beautifully crisp on both sides. This step enhances the bread’s flavor and texture.
Step 3
Carefully remove the stems from the fresh strawberries. Slice them thinly, about 0.5 cm thick. Slicing them evenly will ensure a beautiful presentation on your sandwich, as overly thick slices can make it difficult to arrange attractively.
Step 4
Take one slice of cheese and use a small flower-shaped cookie cutter or a sharp knife to cut out delicate cheese flowers. Creating several small cheese flowers will add a charming decorative touch to your sandwiches.
Step 5
Spread a thin layer of mustard sauce evenly over the toasted bread slices. Mustard adds a subtle tanginess and depth of flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of mustard to your liking, or omit it entirely if you prefer.
Step 6
Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the mustard-coated bread. You can use about four strawberry slices per sandwich, overlapping them to create a decorative pattern, such as a circle or flower shape. Place one of your charming cheese flowers in the center of the arranged strawberries.
Step 7
Finally, lightly dust the finished open-faced sandwiches with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve. The delicate white powder will look like a gentle snowfall, completing the magical, fairytale-like appearance. Your delicious and refreshing Strawberry Open-Faced Sandwich is now ready to be enjoyed! It’s a wonderful treat for kids and a delightful addition to any brunch.
