• 6-7 fresh strawberries cleaned and sliced
• 12 ounces balsamic vinegar reduced by 75%

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Simmer balsamic vinegar in a small sauce pot until 75% of it has evaporated to make balsamic reduction.
• Bake churro buns in oven for 10 minutes until crispy. Take out of the oven and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.
• Split bun in half using a serrated knife.
• Mix together cream cheese and 1/3 cup cinnamon sugar.
• Move cooled balsamic reduction to a squeeze bottle.
• Spread cream cheese in an even layer on bottom bun, top with sliced strawberries, topped with a drizzling of balsamic reduction. Repeat layers for a total of 2. Top with churro bun top.
• Place finished bun in the oven for 4-5 minutes to let the cream cheese soften up a bit or serve it unbaked for a firmer texture. Garnish as desired.
