Wouter, who is Dutch, introduced me to this style of eating small, sweet strawberries on toasted bread with butter.
Not really a recipe, here is what you do to for the best Saturday, May 17th, breakfast ever…..
1. Wash 1 pint of small, local, sweet strawberries under cool running water. Remove caps & put into a bowl, cutting larger berries in half. Sprinkle berries with a bit of turbinado/raw sugar. Crush a few berries with a fork. Let sit while you make toast.
2. Slather toasted bread with softened butter, top with berries & another light dusting of sugar. This simple way of eating berries allows them to retain their flavor without being overwhelmed by other ingredients. It is just magical. Thanks Wouter.
Get a little closer…..here….have a bite.
