  • Wow, I never thought about adding cucumber and strawberries as a bread topping. This looks very light, healthy and refreshing, especially during Summer.

  • Basil and strawberries really do work well together in a recipe and it is always good to try recipes that are new and different. It really is good for tastebuds to experience new foods and flavours and then to share these recipes with others. Cream cheese makes recipes taste delicious too!

  • Also added buffalo mozerella to the sando, it turned out to cheesy and delicious.

  • This one I’m not sure if I would give this a go. I dont know how basil and strawberries go together. It may be a very nice flavour, Im not so sure Im game enough to give it a try. The cream cheese and strawberries definitely would go. It looks fresh.

  • If you sprinkle black pepper on your strawberries before you add them to your sandwich, they will have a sweeter and more mellow taste and add flavor to your sandwich thins.

  • My father was a big fan of strawberries on bread and actually my father in law loved it too (he would even add heaps of sugar, bless). Personally I’m not such fan of strawberries nor am I a bread eater.
    In fact weeks and months go by without bread for me, I could perfectly go without

  • I would never have thought to put strawberries with cucumber; not unusual to have tomatoes instead, and I’m sure I would like that combination, but I’m not sure about strawberries in this mix.

  • Christmas colours right here on this plate ! I love this simplistic little meal that could be had for breakfast, lunch or just for a delicious healthy snack. These are all really heathy bits and pieces, and things mostly found in your kitchen without having to go and spend a fortune to buy. Can’t wait to try this one out !

  • I have not yet tried those “thins” but everyone who has seems to enjoy them. They are really good for a low card alternative. I suppose they just look chewy to me? This combination sounds delicious though. I would most definitely give this recipe a try. Just to convince hubby to make it for me haha

  • Certainly an interesting ingredient combination that I would never have thought of.

  • Would like to try without the basil (not a fan) !!!

  • Something different I’d like to try!

  • Strawberry and cucumber, what a cooling summer combo. Cream cheese too, I know I’ll enjoy this one

  • This sounds odd to me, yet I’m very fascinated to know what it tastes like so i think I’ll have to try it

  • I’m not a strawberry fan, but my Nan (dearly missed) introduced me to peanut butter and lettuce sandwiches. I now use these thins to make them because a regular sandwich can be very filling and I get to enjoy more of the flavour with the thins. One sandwich is enough to fill me up and they are great for open faced sandwiches too.

  • I love Tip Top Thins. I use the burger ones all the time and love toasting the sandwich ones. They come out like a big cracker.

  • Visually these just look so great, and I say that as someone who dislikes strawberries. I’d love to serve this at a lunch party though, because I’m sure so many people would love them.
