Fresh and roasted, sweet and a bit salty—there’s a strawberry toast for every taste.
In the Age of Avocado Toast, it can be tricky for other toasts to get the attention they deserve, and strawberry toast deserves a lot of attention. These two versions are great places to start. They are designed to work on a range of bread, so use whatever you prefer.
Roasted Strawberry Toast with Cream Cheese
Roasting is a great way to redeem those delicate strawberries that are perhaps a little too ripe to eat raw. They become jammy and tart when roasted and taste delicious atop cream cheese-slathered toast.

Calories 281kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 slices bread
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350°F.
- Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters. Toss the strawberries with the cane sugar, olive oil, and cinnamon. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast until the strawberries are softened and browning at the edges, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
- Toast the bread. Generously slather the bread with cream cheese or ricotta. Top each with a generous spoonful of the roasted strawberries.
Notes
Mix things up by using ricotta in place of the cream cheese.
Fresh Strawberry Toast with Almond Butter
Think of this as a PB and J all grown up. The honey keeps things on the sweet side, but this toast can edge tastily towards the savory if you decide to skip it.
