Converted amounts are rounded.
Method
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Butter the outsides of the slices of bread, then slather the inside of half of the slices with almond butter.
- Next add 2 squares of chocolate on top of each of the almond butter slices and top with pomegranate arils. Top with the other slice of bread, buttered side up and place the sandwich in the skillet.
- Push down with a heavy spatula to compress. Gently flip when the bottom is browned and crusty – about 2-3 minutes. (be careful not to burn)
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Serve immediately.
💡 Tips
- Use a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan for even browning.
- If using olive oil instead of butter, brush the bread lightly.
- Let the sandwich rest for a minute before cutting to avoid the filling from oozing out.
