# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes literally ten minutes from start to impress
  • Looks like you tried way harder than you actually did
  • Endless variations based on whatever you have
02 -
  • Cheese tastes better at room temperature so take it out 20 minutes before serving

  • Leave space between items so nothing gets smushed when people reach in
03 -
  • Buy cheese from the specialty section instead of prepackaged for better flavor
