Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 slices of brioche bread

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Zest of 1 lemon

Pinch of salt

Optional: mint leaves for garnish and additional strawberries for decoration

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and lemon zest. Toss gently and set aside to marinate for about 10-15 minutes. This will help enhance their natural sweetness and flavor.

    Make the Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip; you want it to be light and fluffy.

      Prepare the Brioche Bread: Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of brioche bread. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the slices of bread, buttered side down, into the skillet. Toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and toast the other side.

        Assemble the Sandwiches: On the unbuttered side of three slices of toasted brioche, layer a generous amount of whipped cream, followed by a layer of the marinated strawberries. Top each with another slice of toasted brioche, buttered side up.

          Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation. Garnish with additional strawberries and fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy this delightful treat immediately!
