Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices white sandwich bread (or whole wheat for a healthier twist)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup high-quality chocolate spread (smooth hazelnut chocolate spread recommended)
- 1/3 cup raspberry jam (seedless or smooth preferred)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Fresh raspberries for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Lay out six slices of bread on a cutting board. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter (about 3 inches) to cut out hearts from each slice. Alternatively, carefully cut a heart shape with a knife.
- Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each heart-shaped bread piece.
- Flip three of the buttered hearts so the buttered side is down. Spread about 1 tablespoon of chocolate spread evenly over each piece, then add 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam on top. Place another heart-shaped bread piece buttered side up on top to form a sandwich.
- Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
- Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula to encourage even browning until golden brown and chocolate is slightly melted.
- Transfer sandwiches to a wire rack or plate and let cool for 1-2 minutes to firm up.
- Optionally, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh raspberries before serving.
Notes
Spread softened butter right before cooking to avoid soggy bread. Use medium to medium-low heat to toast evenly and melt chocolate without burning. Press gently when flipping sandwiches. If sandwiches brown too quickly, lower heat and cover skillet loosely for 30 seconds to help melt filling.
