Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. In a 10-inch ceramic casserole or quiche dish, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the oven. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the melted butter, stirring to combine.
3. Place the strawberries cut-side down into the dish, arranging them snugly. Sprinkle the berries with light brown sugar, and tuck the vanilla halves between the berries.
