Chocolate & Brie Panini
If I had to pick one favorite food in the whole world, it would be chocolate. And cheese. Look, asking me to choose between chocolate and cheese is what I imagine it's like to be asked to pick a favorite child. I love them both equally and in their own special ways. But I've never been able to enjoy the two together... until now.
I picked up a new cookbook by Giada De Laurentiis (called Giada's Kitchen) a few weeks ago, and paging through it I came across a recipe for a chocolate & brie panini. At first I thought - EW! But then I remembered I had some brie in the fridge that I needed to eat, and I thought about how Giada hasn't steered me wrong with one of her recipes yet.... so I threw caution to the wind and decided to try it.
Oh. My. God.
As disgusting as the combination of chocolate and brie may sound, it's far more delicious than you can imagine. The sweet, melty chocolate is the perfect counterbalance for the rich brie. Plus, it's chocolate. And cheese. Together in the same sandwich. I could eat these every day for the rest of my life. The photo isn't great, but I really just took it so I'd have an excuse to share this recipe with you.

(I was out of basil so I made mine without any, but I imagine it's even better with the basil!)
