# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The contrast between melted chocolate-hazelnut and warm brie creates an unexpectedly balanced, creamy bite.
  • It takes only 20 minutes and uses ingredients you probably already have from last night's roast chicken.
  • People always ask for the recipe because it sounds wild but tastes completely intentional.
02 -
  • Don't skip the rest after cooking, cutting immediately makes all the filling spill out onto the plate.
  • Medium heat is non-negotiable, high heat will char the bread before the brie even softens.
  • If your Nutella is cold and stiff, microwave it for 10 seconds so it spreads without ripping the bread.
03 -
  • Press gently with the spatula while cooking to help the cheese melt faster without squashing out all the filling.
  • Use a serrated bread knife to slice, it glides through the crisp crust without crushing the soft center.
  • If you want extra indulgence, brush the bread with melted butter mixed with a tiny pinch of cinnamon before grilling.
