Increase the speed to medium and add the egg whites in several additions, scraping the bowl between additions. Mix until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Slowly add the browned butter until thoroughly incorporated. Fold in the diced strawberries.

4Place one strawberry slice on top of each financier and sanding sugar or turbinado sugar to finish.
