Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

This toast is best enjoyed immediately after assembling. However:

  • You can pre-dice strawberries and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Toast can be made fresh in minutes.
  • Nutella spreads best at room temperature.

Avoid assembling ahead of time, as the strawberries can release moisture and soften the toast.
