Ingredients
- 3 to 4 slices crusty bread, thickly cut (baguette or rustic loaf)
- 60 g dark chocolate (54–70% cocoa), chopped or broken into pieces
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Lightly toast the bread slices until just crisp on the outside.
- Turn off the oven but keep it warm.
- Place the toasted bread on a baking tray and generously drizzle each slice with olive oil, allowing it to soak in.
- Scatter the dark chocolate pieces evenly over the top of each slice.
- Return the tray to the warm, turned-off oven for 2 to 3 minutes, until the chocolate is soft and glossy.
- Remove from the oven, gently spread the chocolate with the back of a spoon, and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Best enjoyed immediately while warm and the chocolate is soft.
- Use a fruity extra virgin olive oil for best flavor.
- Adjust salt to taste—just a light sprinkle enhances the chocolate.
- Pre-toast the bread if preparing ahead, then assemble just before serving.
- Works well as a quick dessert or elegant snack.
