🥘 Ingredients

4 items

• 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

10 steps

1. Preheat a panini press or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

2. Spread the unsalted butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.

3. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface or plate.

4. Layer the chocolate evenly over the unbuttered side of the bread slice.

5. Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up, to form a sandwich.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Remove the sandwich from the heat and let it cool slightly before slicing.

9. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation.

10. Serve warm and enjoy your Chocolate Panini!
