300g Jubilee Selections by Driscoll’s strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 lime, halved
Sprinkle of sugar (optional)
Handful of flaked almonds
Icing sugar to dust
Crème fraiche or Greek yoghurt to serve
Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C in a fan oven) sit the Brioche on a baking sheet then evenly scatter over the marzipan.
Divide the strawberries between each one then squeeze over the lime juice then sprinkle with sugar if using and almonds.
Pop it in the oven to toast for about 20-25 mins or until the Brioche is golden and the topping is bubbling. Remove and dust with icing sugar and serve with a dollop of crème fraiche or Greek yoghurt if you are feeling slightly more virtuous!
