Strawberry and basil sandwiches
|
|
Dear cooks, the strawberry season is starting, so I'm sharing with you my favorite summer breakfast that I've been making for probably 5 years. The combination of a warm, crispy slice of bread, with juicy strawberries on a soft creamy cloud of cottage cheese, flavored with spicy green basil and a thick balsamic cream, believe me, will not leave you indifferent! Any seasonal, juicy, sweet and sour fruit/berries can be used for sandwiches. My favorites are strawberries and nectarines. I heartily encourage you to try and find your own flavor combinations! Thank you Natalia MN2012 for the idea.
Ingredients for strawberry and basil sandwiches:
- Baton - 50 g

- Cheese curd (9% cottage cheese, ricotta) - 25 g
- Strawberries (medium size berries, 30-35g) - 2 pcs

Prepare all the ingredients. |
|
Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or in the oven until crispy (you want the bread to stay soft on the inside and crispy on the outside). |
|
While the bread is still warm, brush it with butter. |
|
Next layer of cream cheese (or ricotta, 9% cottage cheese). |
|
Sliced strawberries (or any seasonal juicy-sweet fruit/berries). |
|
Dust with balsamic cream. If you don't have balsamic cream, you can make it yourself from the balsamic vinegar. Pour the balsamic vinegar into a pan/pot, add sugar to taste and boil it until it becomes heavy, the volume should reduce by about half. Sprinkle basil on top. |

Enjoy! |
