Strawberry Nutella Toasts (Print-Friendly Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
02 - 8 slices sourdough bread, each about half an inch thick

→ Spread

03 - 1/3 cup Nutella chocolate hazelnut mix
04 - 4 ounces softened cream cheese

→ Toppings

05 - 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
06 - 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Go ahead and dish it up right away so everything stays fresh and delicious.
02 - Spoon a big dollop of the Nutella and cream cheese blend on each toast. Cover with plenty of strawberries, and toss on some toasted walnuts to finish.
03 - Grab your mixer, either hand or stand style, and mix the cream cheese with Nutella till it turns into a smooth, chocolatey spread.
04 - Take the now-toasted bread out and set it on a wire rack until it cools off all the way.
05 - Lay out your bread, buttered side pointing up, on a lined baking sheet. Pop it in the oven for about five minutes, or until it’s crisp and golden.
06 - Crank your oven up to 400°F. Place parchment on your sheet tray so nothing sticks.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - You can get even richer nut flavors by tossing walnuts in a hot dry pan for a couple minutes and stirring often. Pull 'em off the heat when you start smelling that roasted aroma.
