Ingredients:
Whole wheat bread - 4 thick slices

Strawberry - 3 cups (sliced or diced hulled)
Mascarpone cheese - 4 tbsp.
*
Preparation:
Toast the bread in the toaster. While you’re waiting, heat a large
skillet over high heat.
Add the sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice and
cook, stirring until the sugar melts and the mixture begins to bubble –
30 seconds to 1 minute.
Add the strawberries and stir until juices begin to exude and the
berries are heated through – a further 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mascarpone on each piece of toast. Top with
the warm berries.
*For a suitable substitute for mascarpone cheese, consider a blend of cream cheese, heavy cream, and sour cream. This combination mimics the rich, smooth texture and slightly tangy flavor of mascarpone. Other options include crème fraîche, ricotta, or Greek yogurt, though these may have slightly different textures or flavors.
