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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Chocolate Panini!
