Maury Rubin's Grilled Chocolate Sandwich
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces dark (bittersweet) chocolate
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 12 to 16 slices of plain white bread
- Handful of chocolate batons ( 1/2 inch long) or chocolate chips (about 1/3 cup)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons soft butter
Directions:
- Chop the chocolate fine and set aside in a medium bowl.
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan until just boiling and pour over the chopped chocolate.
- Let stand 1 minute, then whisk until smooth.
- Refrigerate until just slightly solid, about 30 minutes.
- Spread a layer of the chocolate mixture 1/4-inch thick (approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons) on half the bread sides to within about 1/4 inch of the edges.
- Press about 2 teaspoons of the chocolate chips (or 5 or 6 pieces of batons) into the center of each filling.
- Spread a bit of softened butter over one side of the remaining slices.
- Buttered side up, place the slice over each chocolate-spread slice and press lightly around the edges to seal.
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before putting on a grill or on a press.
- (If you are using a skillet instead, freeze the sandwich 15 minutes.)
- Heat a grill or sandwich press (or a large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat), and add the sandwiches.
- Press on one side only for a minute or two (depending on the particular grill or press you're using) until the bread is nicely browned; the chocolate should be barely melted and not swimming out the side.
- If you are using a griddle or skillet, heat the sandwich first on the unbuttered side until lightly toasted, about 1 minute; turn the sandwich over and weight it down by placing a baking sheet or pan on top of the sandwich and placing a few soup cans on top.
- Toast for another minute, until golden.
- Cut in half and finish with a frilled toothpick.
