# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes 10 minutes but looks like you spent an hour in the kitchen, which is honestly the best kind of recipe.
  • The contrast between creamy, melting Brie and crispy Parmesan creates this textural moment that keeps you coming back for one more bite.
  • People always remember the presentation, and that's before they taste how simple and elegant it really is.
02 -
  • If your Brie isn't properly chilled, you'll end up with a crumbly mess instead of clean wedges—I learned this the hard way and had to refreeze and start over.
  • Grating your Parmesan fresh rather than using pre-grated makes an enormous difference in how it adheres and looks on the finished dish.
03 -
  • A chef's knife works better than a serrated one for this—the smooth blade creates cleaner cuts through the creamy cheese without dragging.
  • If you want to make this dairy-free, there's honestly no substitute that captures the same magic, so this one stays in the traditional camp.
