Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Zest of 1 lemon

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

6 slices of brioche bread

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Optional: mint leaves for garnish and additional strawberries for decoration

Instructions
 

Marinate the Strawberries: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the lemon zest. Gently toss the strawberries to ensure they are evenly coated with the zest. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to allow the strawberries to marinate – this will intensify their natural sweetness and flavor.

    Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks start to form. Take care to stop whipping just as it becomes light and fluffy, avoiding any over-whipping which can lead to a grainy texture.

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

        Assemble the Sandwiches: On the unbuttered side of three slices of toasted brioche, spread a generous layer of the whipped cream. Follow this with an ample helping of the marinated strawberries, allowing some of the juices to soak into the cream. Top each with another slice of toasted brioche, ensuring the buttered side is facing up to maintain that lovely golden exterior.

          Serve and Enjoy: Cut each sandwich in half diagonally to create appealing triangular shapes. For a touch of elegance, garnish your plates with extra strawberries and fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve these delightful sandwiches immediately to enjoy their freshness!
