Chocolate-Raspberry Panini with Mascarpone

I live off of grilled cheese (sister or cousin of the panini right?!?).

1/4 cup unsalted butter

8 slices french bread, sliced 1/2 inch

4 tablespoon raspberry preserves

32 fresh raspberries

4 oz bittersweet chocolate, do not exceed 61% cacao, coarsely chopped

6 tablespoons mascarpone cheese

8 teaspoon brown sugar

Prepare pan/grill.

Butter 1 side of each bread slice. Arrange 4 bread slices, butter side down on a baking sheet. Spread each with 1 tablespoon preserves. Arrange 8 berries over preserves on each bread slice. Sprinkle chocolate evenly over preserves and berries..leave a 1/8 border.

Spread mascarpone over plain side of remaining 4 bread slices. Leaving a border. Place bread slices mascarpone side down atop each chocolate/berry bread slice. Sprinkle butter side of sandwiches with 1 teaspoon brown sugar, press lightly to adhere.

Grill each sandwich until chocolate melts and bread is golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to work surface, cool for about 5 minutes. Using serrated knife, cut each sandwich in half. Serve.
