Here’s a delightful take on the grilled sandwich. Because of the challah and the addition of eggs, butter, and milk, this dessert is richer than most, so it’s best served after a light meal.

　　

Ingredients

serves 4

　　2 large eggs

　　2 tablespoons milk

　　4 large slices challah or Italian bread (cut 3/4 inch thick)

　　4 ounces thin semisweet chocolate bar

　　2 tablespoons unsalted butter

　　Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

　　

Step 1

In a large, shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk; set aside.

　　

Step 2

Form two sandwiches with the bread and chocolate (break the chocolate as necessary to cover the bread without extending over the edges); dip both sides of the sandwiches in the egg mixture to coat.

　　

Step 3

Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat; transfer the sandwiches to the skillet. Cook, pressing occasionally with a spatula, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Cut each sandwich in half, and dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
