Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces English muffins
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whipped cream
- 2 sprigs Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely.
Add the sliced strawberries to the skillet, along with the granulated sugar. Stir gently to coat the strawberries evenly with the sugar.
Cook the strawberries for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and begin to caramelize. The mixture should thicken slightly into a syrupy consistency.
Add the vanilla extract to the skillet in the last minute of cooking and stir to combine. Remove the skillet from heat and let the caramelized strawberries cool slightly.
While the strawberries are cooling, slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
Place the toasted English muffin halves on serving plates. Spoon the warm caramelized strawberries evenly over each muffin half.
Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with a mint leaf for an extra touch of freshness, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the decadent combination of caramelized strawberries and crisp English muffins.
