# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They look absolutely stunning on a platter—like tiny edible jewels that make any occasion feel special
  • Zero cooking required means you can spend time with guests instead of sweating over a hot stove
  • The combination of creamy, fruity, and bubbly flavors creates this beautiful moment on your palate that feels celebratory
02 -
  • Don't skip the drying step after you drain the grapes—I learned this the hard way when soggy toasts collapsed mid-bite, and it was a lesson I never forgot
  • The goat cheese must be softened or it will tear your bread apart as you spread it; leave it on the counter for five minutes before you start
  • Assemble these as close to serving time as possible because the moisture from the grapes eventually softens the toast, and you want that crisp contrast
03 -
  • Make your goat cheese layer slightly thicker than the Brie layer—this prevents the more delicate white cheese from sliding around
  • Toast your bread on a lower setting if you have the option; you want crispy, not charred, so the delicate toppings don't feel overwhelmed
  • Keep edible gold dust in a small shaker or container and apply it last, just before serving, so it maintains its shimmer and doesn't get absorbed into the moisture of the cheese
