The Art of Preparation
Creating this dish is like conducting a flavor symphony. Start by preparing a creamy filling, layer with fresh strawberries, then transform with a golden fry. The magic is in the details—each step builds a layer of deliciousness.
Cooking to Perfection
The key is balance and precision. Coat carefully in egg wash, fry to golden brown, and watch for that perfect moment when crispy meets creamy. Medium heat is your secret weapon.
