# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It challenges everything you thought you knew about grilled cheese and wins every time.
  • The contrast between crisp golden bread and molten brie with Nutella is unforgettable.
  • It comes together in under 20 minutes using ingredients you probably already have.
  • Every bite delivers that addictive sweet-savory balance that keeps people guessing.
02 -
  • Medium heat is your friend here, high heat will burn the butter before the cheese melts.
  • Soften the butter first or it will tear your bread and leave uneven coverage.
  • Press gently while cooking to help the layers meld without squashing out all the filling.
03 -
  • Let your cooked chicken come to room temperature before layering so it does not cool down the melting cheese.
  • Wipe the skillet between batches if any butter has burned to keep the second sandwich pristine.
  • Slice with a sharp bread knife in one smooth motion to keep the layers intact and the presentation clean.
