Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (preferably ciabatta or brioche)
- 50 grams Dark chocolate (or milk chocolate, as preferred)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spread the unsalted butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface or plate.
Layer the chocolate evenly over the unbuttered side of the bread slice.
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up, to form a sandwich.
If using a panini press, place the sandwich inside and gently press down. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crisp, and the chocolate is melted.
If using a skillet, place the sandwich carefully in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip the sandwich and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until both sides are golden and the chocolate has melted.
Remove the sandwich from the heat and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation.
Serve warm and enjoy your Chocolate Panini!
