3. Cook each slice for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 4: Assemble

• Spread or layer the cream filling between slices of toast.
• Add sliced strawberries and raspberries between layers.
• Stack to create a layered presentation.

Step 5: Finish

• Drizzle maple syrup or honey over the top

5. Pro Tips

• Use brioche or challah for a richer texture
• Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the outside
• Slightly chilled cream filling holds its shape better
