Chocolate-Olive Panini

Late-night eating is one of those things that’s pretty much a fact of a chef’s life. Really late-night eating. And I often end up with friends at ’ino and ’inoteca, where they make the greatest panini in New York. One very late night, my cooks and I thought it would be fun to create a sandwich for the dessert menu. Here’s the result. The combination of chocolate with the tangy olives is addictive.

Cooks' Note

Gianduja paste and feuilletine are both available online from L’Epicerie. You could also buy cigarette cookies from a gourmet store and crush them as a substitute for the feuilletine.
