# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when it actually took you ten minutes, which means more time to chat with guests.
  • The temperature and texture contrast—warm, buttery Brie against cold, sharp Parmesan—feels luxurious without being complicated.
02 -
  • The Brie must be genuinely cold—room-temperature cheese will slice unevenly and lose its beautiful wedge shape.
  • If you toast the Parmesan in a dry pan before dusting, it brings out a deeper, nuttier flavor that elevates the whole dish to something feel-special.
03 -
  • Warm water on your knife blade between cuts is the secret to clean edges—it makes all the difference between elegant wedges and jagged, crumbly pieces.
  • If you're serving this at a dinner party, arrange it on the coldest platter you can find, or even chill the platter in the freezer beforehand.
