Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sliced bread (Italian or brioche)
- 50 grams Milk chocolate (or dark chocolate, chopped)
- 4 medium Fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on the panini press or skillet.
Layer the chopped chocolate evenly across the unbuttered side of the slice of bread.
Arrange the sliced strawberries over the layer of chocolate.
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
If using a panini press, close it gently and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is crisp and golden, and the chocolate has melted. If using a skillet, press down slightly with a spatula, then cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping carefully.
Remove the panini from the heat and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
