Recipe: Toasted Bread and Bittersweet Chocolate

  • FAST
  • VEGETARIAN

Ingredients

  1. 16 thin baguette slices
  2. One 4-ounce bar of bittersweet chocolate, cut into 16 pieces
  3. 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  4. Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
  1. Preheat the broiler and position a rack 8 inches from the heat. Spread the baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil until toasted, about 30 seconds. Turn the slices over and set a square of chocolate on each one. Broil just until the bread is golden and the chocolate is beginning to melt (about 30 seconds). Transfer the chocolate toasts to plates and drizzle with the olive oil. Lightly sprinkle sea salt on the chocolate and serve right away.
