# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes just 20 minutes from start to finish, so you can actually enjoy your party instead of hiding in the kitchen
  • The contrast between creamy cheese, bright burst of prosecco-soaked grape, and that edible gold shimmer feels impossibly fancy for such simple ingredients
  • Naturally vegetarian and easily adapted to gluten-free, meaning everyone at your gathering can celebrate together
  • Each bite is perfectly portioned, so guests can enjoy them in one elegant pop without crumbs on their cocktail dresses
02 -
  • Drain those prosecco-soaked grapes thoroughly and pat them completely dry, or they'll slip off the cheese and onto your guests' laps—I learned this the expensive way at a client dinner
  • Don't assemble these more than 30 minutes ahead of time, or the bread will start to soften and lose that satisfying contrast that makes people go "oh!" when they bite in
  • The cheeses must be at room temperature before you start building, or you'll end up tearing the bread trying to spread cold, stiff cheese
03 -
  • If you're making these for a large gathering, prep your components separately and assemble them in batches as people arrive—it keeps everything fresh and prevents your platter from sitting around looking tired
  • The secret that changed everything for me was chilling the serving platter in the freezer for 10 minutes before arranging the toasts—it keeps everything cool and slows down the cheese from softening too quickly under warm kitchen lights
