PaninoLog: Brioche with Chocolate
For nearly a year, we have had a New York Times article (link) hanging from our refrigerator door that describes a sweet, pressed sandwich served at the Chickenbone Cafe in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The paper has yellowed over time, but you can still make out the photo, which depicts a grilled sandwich of brioche and chocolate, served with a side of "slaw" made of candied citrus zest.
I did not make the slaw, but I did successfully replicate the sandwich at home. To make this simple dessert (or indulgent breakfast), pile shaved semisweet chocolate between two thick slices of brioche loaf, spread a thin layer of butter on the outside, and grill the sandwich in the press until the bread is golden brown and the chocolate has melted. Serve with fresh whipped cream.
Editor's Note: With this fourth installment of the PaninoLog (four posts in five days), The Food Section now returns to its regularly scheduled programming. Future grilled sandwich posts will occur on an ad hoc basis, as the inspiration strikes.

What a lovely scrumptious simple dessert, I'll have to remember that!
And I will sure miss the PaninoLog! Will you still panino-blog for us occasionally? pretty please? :)

Clotilde, I promise to panino-blog again. I don't want to wear out the panini press, after all! Just taking a little break . . .
Nevertheless, plans are in the works for future sandwich variations. When fresh figs show up again in the stores, I want to make the fig/prosciutto panino which Alberto at ilforno.typepad.com recommended.

a sad side note: chickenbone has closed its doors! both 'inoteca and diner (in BK) serve great versions of this chocoloate pannini, though...and of course, we can all make it at home thanks to you!

Broni, it looks like the Chickenbone Cafe is in flux: http://tinyurl.com/ywb9v
Thanks for the tips on the other grilled chocolate panino sources.
Amy, it was really good! Danielle and I split the sandwich, but we each could have had a whole one because it was so tasty.

What I find I like about a panini press is that it doesn't need the fat to grill and it makes the sandwiches look pretty.

My husband has been on dessert day for about three weeks now and he's only made cookies, which I'm getting sick of :p
Now I know what to request for this week's dessert. Yum!

It kinda looks like a dessert sandwich. I wonder what country it originated from. Looks good though!
