Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 slices fresh white bread (or bread of choice)
  • 1214 ounces strawberry cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 68 fresh strawberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Spread one side of each slice of bread evenly with the softened strawberry cream cheese. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out two hearts from each slice, creating a total of 12 heart-shaped sandwich pieces. Reserve the bread scraps for snacking or other uses.
  2. Slice the strawberries: Thinly slice 6 to 8 fresh strawberries to ensure they layer nicely over the cream cheese without overpowering the sandwich.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches: For open-faced sandwiches, place the sliced strawberries evenly over all 12 hearts. For closed-faced sandwiches, place strawberry slices on 6 hearts and cover each with the remaining 6 hearts to make 6 closed sandwiches.
  4. Serve fresh: Arrange the sandwiches on a plate and serve immediately to maintain freshness and prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

Notes

  • You can use any type of bread you prefer, such as whole wheat or gluten-free, depending on dietary needs.
  • For easier spreading, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before use.
  • These sandwiches are best served fresh but can be refrigerated briefly if needed. Avoid making them too far in advance to keep bread from getting soggy.
  • Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter for cleanly shaped bread hearts.
  • Bread scraps can be toasted for a crunchy snack or used in breadcrumbs.
