How to Make Chocolate Hazelnut Grilled Cheese

1. Begin by spreading 1 tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut spread evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
2. On the unspread side of one slice, layer the slices of sharp cheddar cheese.
3. If you’re adding fruit, place sliced bananas or strawberries on top of the cheese for an extra layer of sweetness.
4. Top with the second slice of bread, chocolate hazelnut side down, creating a sandwich.
5. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
6. Once the butter is bubbling, carefully place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
7. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melty and the bread is golden brown.
8. Remove from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then cut in half and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use high-quality chocolate hazelnut spread for the best flavor.
• Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the sandwich to achieve that perfect golden crust.
• Don’t rush the cooking process; low and slow usually yields the best results.

Easy Variations

• Swap cheddar for gouda or brie for a different flavor profile.
• Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate hazelnut spread for a sweet and salty contrast.
• Try adding a layer of thinly sliced apples or pears for added crunch and flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A side of fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• A cup of hot chocolate or coffee to complement the flavors.
• Sweet potato fries for a savory sidekick.
