Strawberry toast is a very simple and delicious breakfast recipe that uses only 3 ingredients.

I know it's going to be a good day when I can get my kids to eat their fruit- or dare I say veggies- before the sun even begins to shine. You'll rarely catch them eating fresh fruit plain and straight from a bowl, but as part of another recipe? They'll eat it!

Apparently they don't like strawberries unless their blended into a smoothie, wrapped with Nutella in a crescent roll or baked into a delicious oatmeal breakfast.

And most recently, strawberries atop bread slices layered with cream cheese. I'm glad they love this because it's a really simple and quick breakfast that gives them a healthy dose of fruit to start off the day.

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Add the chopped strawberries to a small baking dish or small bowl that's oven safe. Place in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until strawberries soften and release juices. Remove from the oven.

STEP 2: While the strawberries are baking, toast the bread slices to your desired toast level. Divide the cream cheese in half and spread on the toasted bread.

How To Store

Because the strawberry mixture only lasts a day after being made, it's best to enjoy strawberry cream cheese toast the same day. If you have leftover strawberry mixture, store it in an airtight container in the fridge and use the next morning.

What Else Can I Put On Strawberry Toast?

Peanut butter, almond butter, Nutella, avocado and balsamic sauce are great variations for the base layer of strawberry toast. Sprinkle some sugar on top of the strawberries for added sweetness or top with fresh herbs like mint or basil.
