Recipe: Chocolate & Cinnamon Toasted Hearts

This is the perfect recipe for a romantic breakfast in bed this Valentines Day. It's simple, quick and super cute!

Something to tickle your sweetheart's sweet tooth!

Utensils 

 

• A heart shaped sandwich cutter (cookie cutters can also be used if needs be, but sandwich cutters provide a much neater finish).
• A frying pan
• A pastry brush (optional but very much advised)
• A knife and fork
• A clean mug or bowl
• Tongs

 

Ingredients

 

• 2 slices of bread minimum (this can be whatever kind of bread you prefer or think would work best, but I used regular white bread. You may need more depending on the size of your cutter and how many toasted hearts you want to make).
• Chocolate spread
• A pinch of cinammon
• 1 egg (medium or large)
• Cooking oil

Mmm... yummy!

 

Instructions

 

Step 1

 Begin by using your cutter to cut the heart shapes from your bread. Do this in pairs, making sure that you have an even number.

Step 2

Use the chocolate spread as a filling between each pair of hearts. (Spread it evenly with your knife and then press two hearts together to form a sandwich - be sure to repeat this for each pair you have cut).

Step 3

Crack the egg and whisk in the bowl or mug of your choice with a fork. Now add a pinch of cinnamon and whisk until everything is thoroughly mixed together.

 Step 4

Dip your pastry brush into the mixture and lightly coat both sides of each sandwich with it. (If you don't have a pastry brush, you can carefully dip the sandwich itself into the mixture, but be very careful not to let them go soggy!)

Step 5

Pour a dash of cooking oil (not too much, just a tiny amount!) into your frying pan and let it simmer over a medium heat for a brief moment before popping in your heart sandwiches. Use your tongs to make picking them up easier, and make sure to cook them on both sides until golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy!
