Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 8 slices of bread
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of chocolate chips, 8 slices of bread, and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar for dusting.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir frequently to ensure even melting.
- Continue to cook the butter, stirring constantly, until it turns a golden brown color and develops a nutty aroma. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
- Once the butter is browned, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly. This will enhance the flavor of your sandwiches.
- While the butter cools, take two slices of bread and lay them on a clean surface. Generously spread the brown butter on one side of each slice.
- On the unbuttered side of one slice, sprinkle a desired amount of chocolate chips. You can use more or less depending on your preference.
- Place the other slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out, creating a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining slices of bread and chocolate chips until you have four sandwiches.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet.
- Cook the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to gently press down on the sandwiches for even cooking.
- Flip the sandwiches and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and the chocolate chips have melted.
- Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute.
- Dust the sandwiches with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sieve for a decorative touch and added sweetness.
- Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm, allowing the melted chocolate to ooze out with each bite.
- Enjoy your delicious Brown Butter Chocolate Melt Sandwiches!
Tips
- Watch the Butter: When browning the butter, keep a close eye on it. The transition from golden brown to burnt can happen quickly, so stir constantly and remove it from heat as soon as it reaches that nutty perfection.
- Customize Your Chocolate: Feel free to mix and match your chocolate chips! Dark, milk, or even white chocolate can be used for a unique flavor twist. You could also add in some nuts or dried fruit for extra texture.
- Press Down Gently: When cooking the sandwiches, gently press down on them with a spatula to ensure even cooking and a perfectly crispy exterior.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve these sandwiches warm. The chocolate should be gooey and melty, creating that irresistible ooze with each bite.
- Experiment with Toppings: Beyond powdered sugar, consider drizzling some caramel or chocolate sauce on top before serving for an extra indulgent touch.
