Ingredients
- 12 slices sourdough bread
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 12 ounces Brie cheese, thinly sliced
- 1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
Directions
Preheat the panini grill.
Brush both sides of the bread with olive oil. Grill the bread slices until they begin to turn golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the panini grill and place 2 ounces of cheese on 1 slice of bread (the bottom half), top the cheese with 1/3 cup chocolate chips, and a sprinkle of basil. Top with another slice of bread. Continue with the remaining sandwiches. Return the sandwiches to the panini grill until the chocolate begins to melt, about another 2 minutes.
Cut the sandwiches into 2-inch wide rectangles or small triangles and transfer to a serving platter.

The unexpected combo of melty brie, gooey chocolate, and fresh basil on crunchy toasted sourdough is amazing and totally addictive. Super easy treat to make for yourself, and I think guests would be pleased and impressed with it as well. I'm going to make it next week for a girls' movie night in! I better go make another one now, just to test...

This was absolutely delicious!! I was really skeptical about putting brie and chocolate together between sourdough bread slices in a big sandwich, but lo and behold - like a magician's trick, it turned out wonderfully, lucsiously, chocolately, gooey, sweet and crunchy amazing. Kudos and thanks to Giada for such an inventive and flavorful recipe!

Pretty innovative and am sure will be a sure hit with many. For me, it was just good because the strong brie flavor did not complement the chocolate a 100%.
