Ingredients

  • 4 slices whole wheat bread
  • 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 3 cups strawberries (sliced or diced)
  • 4 tablespoons mascarpone (Italian cream cheese)

Method

  • Toast bread in a toaster.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over high heat. Add sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice and cook, stirring, until the sugar melts and the mixture begins to bubble, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add strawberries and stir until juices begin to exude and the berries are heated through, 30 seconds to 1 minute more.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon mascarpone on each piece of toast. Top with the warm berries.
