"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."

directions

  • 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:).

  1. Nummers!! Quick, easy and very tasty breakfast snack. It would be fun to prepare for guests. My family really enjoyed it. I think you could make this with flavored cream cheeses and maybe even some different fruits for a different taste.
     
  2. This was wonderful. I had unexpected company due to the blizzard up north. My friends are such foodies that I wanted something different but nice. This recipe fit the bill perfectly. It's so great for company because it is simple, easy to throw together, looks beautiful and has lots of flavor to boot! Thanks for posting such a great recipe.
     
  3. I gave this 5 stars based on it being a quick and easy recipe. We thought it tasted good and was very quick to prepare. Thanks shimmerchik. Bullwinkle.
     
  4. This was my son's awesome breakfast today! I didn't put enough cream cheese on the edges (thought I did) but they browned so I took that part off. Next time I'll add a thicker layer of cheese. We thank you!
     
  5. I loved this. It made a great breakfast. I made it as posted except I used strawberry flavored cream cheese. Thank you for posting it.

  1. Whoever said a picture is worth a thousand words is definately correct. I was browsing this a.m. and saw your wonderful recipe with that out of this world picture. I made this for a mid-morning snack (1/2 a muffin) and you know what it was wonderful! I used a yogurt-cream cheese spread and brown sugar instead of the granulated. It is beautiful and fast. Something I will make again and again and again.

<p>Hello, My name is Monica and I am a 35 year old, happily married mom of 2. After working as a project manager for many years, I currently am a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful daughter Hannah who is 10 years old,&amp; our sweet son Liam who is 6. I love being home with them! I am a Navy wife of 19 years. It is an adventurous, fun, sometimes stressful life but we are proud to be a Navy family in service of our country. <br />Cooking is one of my passions. I could sit down and read recipes like I would a regular novel. I would say I am more of a recipe gatherer rather than a recipe orginator. I do tweak things a lot to suit my families taste, but other than that I rely on recipes for ideas and technique. I find most of my own recipes have been posted in some form or another here, but I look forward to having more to add in the future. <br />I am an avid baker and also love international foods. Being half Thai, I love Thai food and have gotten my family to learn to appreciate it as well.</p>
