It’s like giving a recipe for cinnamon toast. You don’t need me to tell you how to make that—I hope! Still, at the risk of being ridiculed, I offer up this recipe because it’s something a lot of people have never thought to do. If you’re one of them, make this and then thank me, because you’ll find yourself grilling up a chocolate sandwich every time you get the munchies. Think of it as a poor man’s pain au chocolate, with the added dimension of fruity olive oil and sea salt (which are musts, by the way, so don’t skip ‘em). It makes a tasty, speedy breakfast partner for your morning coffee. MAKES 1 SERVING ingredients Two 1/2-inch-thick slices brioche bread or other white bread High-quality, fruity, extravirgin olive oil for drizzling 1 ounce chopped bittersweet chocolate, or 2 to 3 tablespoons Nutella Fleur de sel for sprinkling instructions BRUSH ONE SIDE of each bread slice liberally with olive oil. Arrange the chocolate (or spread the Nutella) evenly on the non-oiled side of one of the slices.
