# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen but takes less time than brewing coffee.
  • The contrast between warm, creamy cheese and crunchy honey glazed walnuts is completely addictive.
  • You can prep it ahead and slide it in the oven right before guests arrive.
02 -
  • Do not skip the resting time, I once served it straight from the oven and it ran all over the serving board like lava.
  • If your Brie is very ripe and soft at room temperature, chill it in the fridge for 20 minutes before baking so it holds its shape better.
03 -
  • Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to slice the Brie cleanly after baking without dragging the rind.
  • If you want a little crunch on top, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet for 3 minutes before sprinkling them on.
