Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add finely chopped fresh basil to the cream cheese mixture. Pulse a few times until evenly distributed.
  3. Take half of the bread slices and spread the cream cheese mixture onto each slice, covering it entirely.
  4. Layer sliced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese mixture on each sandwich base.
  5. Place the remaining bread slices on top of the strawberries, pressing down gently.
  6. Cut each sandwich into triangles or rectangles and arrange on a platter. Garnish with fresh baby basil leaves if desired.
  7. Cover sandwiches with a damp paper towel and store in a sealed container until ready to serve.
