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
Instructions
- 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.

Reviews
This recipe is FANTASTIC! The combination of flavors is perfect.
These are absolutely amazing – so addictive! Thank you, Giada!
This is such an out-of-the-box recipe, I just had to try it, but I think the basil kills it for me. It’s just a very odd flavor profile and the basil makes it even more odd. However, I do plan to make it again with just the cheese and chocolate, that might work. I think the sweetness of the chocolate balances out the bitterness of the cheese really well and just makes it nice and creamy. So, we’ll see.
