Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices French bread or ciabatta
- 2 ounces Brie cheese
- 1 ounce Dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Slice the bread, Brie cheese, and chocolate if not already prepared.
Lightly spread half a tablespoon of butter on one side of each bread slice. This side will face outwards.
Lay one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a clean cutting board or work surface.
Layer the Brie cheese slices evenly over the bread. Be sure to cover as much surface area as possible for optimal gooeyness.
Place the dark chocolate pieces on top of the Brie. Distribute them evenly for a balanced bite.
Drizzle the honey over the chocolate and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing up.
If using a panini press, place the sandwich inside and press down gently. Cook for about 3–4 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese and chocolate are melted.
If using a skillet, place the sandwich in the pan and use a spatula to press it down slightly. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping carefully, until the bread is golden and the contents are gooey and melted.
Remove the panini from the heat, let it cool slightly, and slice in half. Serve immediately for a warm, melty treat.
