Chocolate - Hazelnut and Goat Cheese Melt
- 8 tablespoons Nutella or other hazelnut-chocolate spread
- 4 ounces fresh goat cheese, at room temperature
- 8 slices country white bread ( 1/4 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- In a small bowl, stir the Nutella and cheese together.
- To assemble: Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Place 4 slices on your work surface, buttered side down.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the 4 slices so that it is about 1/4 inch thick (if it's any thicker, the sandwich will be too gooey).
- Place the remaining 4 bread slices on top, buttered side up.
- Cut off the crusts (this helps pinch the bread together to create a tight seal).
- Stovetop method: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Put the sandwiches in the skillet (in batches if necessary), cover, and cook for 2 minutes or until the undersides are golden brown and the cheese has begun to soften.
- Uncover, and turn the sandwiches with a spatula.
- Cook for 1 minute or until the undersides are golden brown.
- Turn the sandwiches again, and cook for 30 seconds, or until the cheese is soft and creamy.
- Serve immediately.
- Sandwich maker method: Because of the creaminess of the filling, a sandwich maker does not work for this sandwich.
- Gas grill method: Brush a grill rack with oil and preheat the grill to medium.
- Follow directions for sandwich assembly.
- Put the sandwiches on the grill and follow directions for the stovetop method.
