Chocolate Panini

• 4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 8 slices walnut or Italian country bread
• 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely grated
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup creme fraiche

1. Butter 1 side of each bread slice, then put 4 slices, buttered side down, on a work surface.
2. Top the bread slices with the chocolate, distributing it evenly.
3. Top the chocolate with a second slice of bread, buttered side up.
4. Sprinkle both buttered sides of each sandwich with the cinnamon.
5. Preheat a sandwich press until hot, or preheat a grill pan or nonstick skillet on the stove top until hot.
6. Lightly oil (with a neutral oil like canola) the surface if it is not nonstick.
7. Place 2 sandwiches on the sandwich press, close, and cook until nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
8. If using a grill pan or skillet, place as many sandwiches in the pan as will fit without crowding, cover with a weight (a second skillet works well; put a can of tomatoes in the skillet if it is not heavy enough), and cook until nicely browned on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes.
9. Turn and cook until the second side is well browned, about 2 minutes longer.
10. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
11. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
12. Pass the creme fraiche at the table.
13. Each guest takes a small amount for dipping his or her sandwich.
