Berry Chocolate Panini Sandwich with Wine Reduction Sauce

In a small saucepan add the wine, sugar and vanilla extract and bring to boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and reduce mixture until about half of it remains. This should take about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat.

To make the sandwich: In a bowl add berries and slightly smash them with a fork. Add the berry mixture onto one slice of bread and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of wine reduction. Top with chocolate, then add the brie cheese. Top with the other slice of bread. Place onto a panini maker and cook according to manufacturer’s instructions until cheese and chocolate is melted.

Note: You will have wine reduction sauce left. Save it to add on top of more sandwiches, yogurt, ice cream or even a salad.
