Chocolate and Cheese with Oprah and Giada

Ingredients

  • 1 fresh baguette
  • 1 chocolate bar broken into small pieces
  • handful of fresh basil cut into strips
  • 4 oz of triple cream or mozzarella cheese
  • Ideally a jar of Truffle Paste or Truffle Oil otherwise just use plain olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  • Turn on your panini press first to heat up and then cut the baguette into one inch slices. Cut those slices in half. If you have truffle paste smear some on each side of the slices. If you are using any of the oils drizzle both slices with them.
  • Crumble some cheese on one side of the bread and sprinkle some basil on it and top with the chocolate. Place the top of the bread back on and repeat until all the bread slices have fillings.
  • Put in the panini press and wait about 2 minutes for the cheese and chocolate to melt. Don’t walk away or else it will get too melted and you will be left with a puddle of goo. You just want it to meld together. Once you hear the cheese sizzling and see the chocolate oozing remove from the maker and wait 5 minutes before biting in.
  • Enjoy!
