04 - Optionally, decorate the platter with fresh thyme sprigs for a touch of greenery.

05 - Present immediately alongside crackers or sliced baguette.

# Expert Advice:

01 -

It looks like you spent hours fussing, but it takes barely longer than opening a wine bottle.
That contrast between creamy Brie and the sharp bite of Parmesan is somehow more satisfying than dishes that take all night.
People always ask for the recipe, then seem shocked when they realize there are only three ingredients.

02 -

The temperature matters more than you think—warm Brie turns into a pile, so keep everything cold until the moment guests arrive.
Parmesan that's freshly grated tastes sharper and looks more elegant than pre-grated, which tends to clump and feel less intentional.

03 -

Buy your Brie from a real cheese counter if you can, let it chill for at least an hour, and use the sharpest knife you own for wedges that feel almost architectural.
The Parmesan dust is the whole visual trick—don't be shy with it, and if you have a microplane grater instead of a box grater, use that for a finer, more snow-like texture.
