# Expert tips:

01 -
  • Takes ten minutes but looks like you've been planning it all week.
  • The contrast of creamy Brie with sharp, snowy Parmesan is unexpectedly addictive.
  • It's vegetarian, elegant, and works for casual hangs or fancy occasions alike.
02 -
  • Warm Brie becomes soup, cold Brie becomes architecture—keep yours in the fridge until the very last moment.
  • Toasting your Parmesan before dusting adds a nutty depth that makes people ask what you did differently.
03 -
  • Gently toasting the Parmesan in a dry pan, then cooling it completely before dusting, adds a subtle nutty warmth that elevates the whole dish.
  • If you're making this for a crowd, cut the Brie just before your guests arrive—it only takes two minutes and ensures the peaks look sharp, not sad.
