A delightful French-inspired breakfast featuring freshly baked baguette slices topped with butter and jam, paired with a comforting cup of cocoa.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and place the baguette on a baking tray.
Baking the baguette enhances its crispiness and brings out its fresh aroma.
Bake the baguette for about 5 minutes or until warm and slightly crispy.
Keep an eye on the baguette to prevent over-baking.
Slice the baguette into halves lengthwise, then cut each half into smaller pieces.
Use a serrated knife for cleaner cuts.
Spread a layer of butter on each slice of baguette.
Allow the butter to soften at room temperature for easier spreading.
Top the buttered slices with a generous amount of strawberry jam.
Use a spoon to evenly distribute the jam.
Prepare the hot cocoa by heating it in a saucepan or microwave until warm.
Stir the cocoa well to ensure even heating.
Serve the baguette slices alongside the hot cocoa and enjoy your French-style breakfast.
Arrange the slices neatly on a plate for a pleasing presentation.
