Preparation

In a small bowl, toss berries with liqueur (if using), lemon rind, salt and pepper; let marinate 5 minutes.

Spread Mascarpone on one slice of bread. Top with basil leaves to cover, then with strawberries. Top with remaining slice of bread.

In a small skillet, heat half of the butter on medium heat. When the butter is melted and starting to brown, add the sandwich. Cook 2 minutes, turn over and add remaining butter. Cook 2 minutes or until golden brown. Slice in half. Garnish with strawberries, flowers, herbs, nuts and a small dish of vinegar for dipping.
