Nutella & Mascarpone on Brioche

[cougars_catnip]

This is basically heaven on a plate.    The mascarpone absorbs the chocolate/hazelnut flavor, and the powdered sugar almost caramelizes as it melts on the warm buttered bread. 

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. Nutella spread
4 generous Tbsp. Mascarpone Cheese
2 slices of Brioche
 Dash of cinnamon (optional)
Powdered sugar
Sliced strawberries for garnish

Method

Preheat skillet over medium heat. Generously butter one side of a slice of bread. Spread Nutella on other side. Place bread butter-side-down onto skillet bottom. Butter a second slice of bread on one side, spread with Mascarpone. Sprinkle cinnamon if desired, and place butter-side-up on top of sandwich. Grill until lightly browned and flip over; continue grilling until bread is golden. Remove from pan. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with sliced strawberries.

Tips:  This is also fantastic with cardamom in place of the cinnamon.

There is not a single bakery in my small town that makes brioche. But if there was, I would be eating this right now!

Oh you can also make this sandwich with Challah Bread or Hawaiian Sweet Bread.

Good thinking -- I thought of challah as a substitute, but that only shows up on special occasions... but I can get King's Hawaiian any day!
