Ingredients
-
1
12 -
ounce
loaf baguette-style French bread
-
3
tablespoons
butter, melted
-
4
ounces
dark or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Quick Citrus Jam (recipe follows)
Directions
- Start by preparing the Quick Citrus Jam. (Note that the jam has to cool completely before serving; it can be made up to 1 week in advance.)
- To make Chocolate-Smeared Baguette, cut baguette crosswise into three pieces. Split each piece horizontally. Place bread pieces, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Brush cut sides with melted butter.
- Broil 5 to 6 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly toasted. Sprinkle chocolate evenly over bread. Broil 30 to 60 seconds more or until chocolate just starts to melt. Place baking sheet with bread on a wire rack. Let stand 1 minute. Spread chocolate evenly over bread tops.
- Serve warm baguette pieces with Quick Citrus Jam.
