Step 1
Start by preheating your oven’s broiler and moving the rack so it’s about 6 inches from the heat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to keep things from sticking. Lay the baguette slices out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Pop them under the broiler and watch closely—after about 2 minutes, they should start turning golden. Flip each slice over and broil for another 2 minutes. Once they’re toasted, turn off the broiler for a moment. Flip the slices one more time, drizzle a little olive oil over each, and press a piece of chocolate into the center. Put the tray back in the oven for a couple more minutes so the chocolate softens nicely. When you take them out, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top while the chocolate is still warm.
Why you’ll love it
This treat combines the crunch of toasted bread with the rich, smooth taste of chocolate. The sprinkle of sea salt adds a perfect balance, making every bite both sweet and savory. It’s an easy yet elegant snack that feels special without much effort.
How to serve
Serve these as a delightful appetizer or a sweet snack at gatherings. They pair wonderfully with a glass of red wine or a cup of strong coffee. For a festive touch, add a few fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel alongside.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Avoid refrigerating, as the bread may become soggy. Re-toast briefly before serving to refresh the crunch if needed.
