Hot Baked Nutella & Cream Cheese Sandwich!

serves 4
8 slices soft yet crusty Italian bread
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into 4 cubes and softened
4 to 6 tablespoons Nutella
Flaky salt
Melted chocolate, to garnish
Fresh berries, to serve
Heat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a Silpat. When the oven is hot, lay each slice of bread on the baking sheet and put in the oven. Turn the oven to BROIL and toast the bread for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven.
Spread a softened cube of cream cheese on the toasted side of four slices of bread, one cube to each. On the other slices, spread a thick layer of Nutella. Sprinkle each slice very lightly with salt.
Put the sandwiches together and put back in the oven. Broil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove when both sides of the sandwich are toasted golden brown.

Cut each sandwich in half and drizzle with melted chocolate. Place on plates and surround with fresh berries. Serve immediately.
