  1. Remove the crusts from the bread and flatten each slice with a rolling pin until about 1/8 inch thick.
  2. Spread cream cheese (about 1 tbsp) on each slice, leaving a small border. Place a few strawberry slices on top.

Notes

Use day-old bread for better results. Keep the skillet at medium heat to avoid burning.
