Tips
- •Let the butter sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes beforehand if needed; softened butter prevents tearing the bread.
- •Use a good-quality strawberry jam with a high fruit content for the most authentic flavor.
- •This is classic with coffee, tea, or hot chocolate at breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
Steps
- 1
Slice the baguette on a slight diagonal into 2 pieces of about 60 g each. For the best texture, use bread that is fresh but not hot, so the butter spreads cleanly without melting immediately.
120 g baguette - 2
Spread the softened salted butter evenly over the cut side of each piece, reaching all the way to the edges so every bite is seasoned and rich.

Spoon the strawberry jam over the butter and spread gently into an even layer. Serve immediately, open-faced, while the bread is still crisp on the outside and tender inside.
