Grilled Butterscotch Ganache Sandwich by Michelin Starred Chef John Critchley

This fun “dessert grilled sandwich” is even more indulgent than a pain au chocolate and easier to make. Our personal chef uses almond extract to enhance the aromas of the bread and muscavado sugar but using vanilla or Dark Rum works just as well.
