Mascarpone Brioche Sandwiches With Chocolate Soup
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup coffee-flavored liqueur (recommended: Kahlua or Sabra)
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
- Eight 1/3-inch slices brioche, or other egg or home-style white bread
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Directions
- Combine the cream and milk in a heavy, medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the chocolate and cook, whisking constantly, until smooth, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the liqueur. Cover to keep warm.
- Combine the cream cheese and honey in a small bowl and mix until well blended. Fold in the mascarpone. Spread the mixture on 4 slices of the bread and top with the remaining bread. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of the butter on each side of the sandwich.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sandwiches 1 at a time and cook until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Remove and repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.
- To serve, ladle the soup into 4 shallow soup bowls and top each with 1 quartered sandwich. Serve immediately.
