A sandwich to start the day sweet!

I don't think that this sandwich needs any introduction. Banana and chocolate...Need I say more?!

I snack on bread slices generously spread with Nutella quite often. Nutella is a chocolate hazelnut spread, sort of the Italian version of peanut butter. One of my friends suggested I try it with banana added. Oh! was that best suggestion ever!

I had this for breakfast with toasted challah bread, which, is an eggy bread, like brioche, that pairs well with sweet stuffing (they are great for puddings and french toasts!). The warmth of the toasted bread melts the nutella and enhances the sweetness of the banana. It's simple, yet decadent - pure joy!

Banana and Chocolate on Brioche
(per sandwich)

1 challah roll halved lengthwise or 2 brioche slices
1 banana sliced thin
3 T chocolate hazelnut spread
a little butter to toast the bread

Toast the bread slices with a little butter. Spread nutella generously on both slices of bread. Make a layer of the banana on one of the slices. Dollop some more Nutella and layer the rest of the banana slices. Top with the other slice and enjoy!
