- Four slices of bread, whole wheat and sliced thick
- 6 tablespoons of light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, preferably grated
- 2 teaspoons of lemon juice
- 3 cups of strawberries, sliced

- Start heating up a large skillet over high heat and begin adding in the sugar, lemon zest and juice to start cooking it by stirring for 30 seconds to one minute. Next add in the strawberries and stir once more until the strawberries or heated and the juice starts to exude through or for about another 30 seconds to one minute. Set aside when finished.
- Take out the toast again and start spreading on the mascarpone, as much or as little as you’d like. Then top it off with the strawberry mixture and serve as is.
