# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in just 20 minutes with zero cooking involved—perfect for when you want to impress without stress
  • The prosecco-soaked grapes stay juicy and flavorful, adding a sophisticated fizzy burst that guests won't expect
  • Naturally elegant enough for fancy occasions but so easy you can make them while chatting with friends
  • Vegetarian and can be gluten-free with one simple swap, so you won't leave anyone out
02 -
  • If your toast is warm when you add the cheese, it'll melt unevenly and slide off. Cool it completely—I learned this the hard way at a party when half my toasts became cheese sliding down the side.
  • The prosecco soak is non-negotiable for the grapes. Unsaked grapes taste fine, but soaked ones are transformed—they become little flavor-bombs that people actually notice and comment on.
  • Pat your grapes completely dry after soaking. Any excess moisture will make your carefully-toasted bread go soggy within minutes, undoing all your work.
03 -
  • Use a sharp knife to slice your Brie—it cuts cleanly and won't tear or drag, which means your toasts look polished and intentional
  • The difference between good and forgettable is in the details: quality cheese, actual prosecco (not just any sparkling wine), real edible gold, good flaky salt. These aren't expensive upgrades, but they change everything
