# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes less time than brewing good coffee, but tastes like you've been planning it all week.
  • You probably have everything already sitting in your fridge—no weird specialty ingredients needed.
  • It bridges that gap between breakfast and dessert without any guilt attached.
02 -
  • Cold cream cheese won't spread without tearing the toast—let it sit on the counter for ten minutes, or soften it for thirty seconds in the microwave.
  • Macerate those strawberries even for just two minutes; it makes the difference between something that tastes fresh and something that tastes alive.
03 -
  • Make the cream cheese mixture the night before and store it in an airtight container—it actually tastes smoother the next day, and you'll only have to worry about toasting and topping in the morning.
  • If your strawberries are underripe, add an extra half-teaspoon of honey and give them more time to macerate—thirty minutes can transform them.
