Caramelized Strawberry English Muffins image

I love strawberries! Who can go wrong with strawberries and cream cheese in a recipe. :)When faced with an abundance of them a few years ago, I made up this super easy and quick breakfast. It has become a family favorite at snack time as well.

Time 8m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 English muffins, each split in half
3 -4 tablespoons light cream cheese, softened (or use spreadable)
3 -4 tablespoons sugar
4 -5 large fresh strawberries

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler to high and set rack to highest level.
  • Toast English muffins in toaster until crisp. (The lovely crisp texture of the muffin, along with the soft toppings contributes to the flavor combination) Spread each half with the cream cheese, making sure to spread all the way to the edges to cover (this prevents the muffin edges from burning when placed under the broiler) Slice strawberries lengthwise, and about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Place strawberries (with pointed end towards center) in a circle on top of the cream cheese to cover entire English muffin.
  • Sprinkle liberally with sugar.
  • Place in an oven safe dish or plate and broil for 2-3 minutes or until sugar begins to bubble and become caramelized.
  • Let cool for 1-2 minutes before you dig inches.
  • (Saves you from the annoying burnt tongue or roof of mouth:).
