# Recipe Expert Tips:

01 -

It takes less than 20 minutes but tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
The combination of warm brie, salty chicken, and hazelnut sweetness feels indulgent without being pretentious.
It's the kind of sandwich that makes people lean back and say "wait, what's in this?" in the best way possible.

02 -

Don't skip the butter on the outside of the bread—it's the difference between a grilled cheese and a sad, soggy sandwich.
Medium heat is your friend here; crank it too high and the bread burns before the cheese melts.

03 -

A handful of crushed toasted hazelnuts mixed into the Nutella layer adds crunch and makes people think you're a professional chef.
If the brie is cold from the fridge, let it sit out for a few minutes so it melts faster and more evenly in the pan.
