Combine the cream cheese and gouda, mixing until completely incorporated. Gently fold in the strawberries. If the mixture is too thick, layer cheese mixture and strawberries in the next step.
Put the cheese and strawberry mixture in an ovensafe container, and bake on the top rack of the oven for 40 minutes or until the top is golden.
With 20 minutes remaining, butter each side of the bread slices and place in a single layer on an unlined baking sheet. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and eat immediately.
