Strawberry Toast

Who says dessert requires chocolate? Strawberry toast works equally well as breakfast, a snack, or a sweet treat in lieu of cookies, pastry or ice cream. All it requires is bread (home-made gluten-free shown here), a little cinnamon sugar, and fresh strawberries sliced on top.  Butter doesn't hurt, but can be skipped unless the bread is very dry.  Opinions vary about whether to toast the bread before topping it, or warm the berries as part of the toasting process.  I myself opt to toast, then butter, sprinkle, and garnish with strawberry slices. Anyway you do it, fresh ripe berries are the key.
