# What You'll Need:

→ Cheese

01 - 9 oz brie cheese, wheel or wedge, chilled

→ Fruit

02 - 3 ripe white peaches, thinly sliced

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen, but it comes together in minutes if you use store-bought meringue.
  • Every element feels light and elegant—no heavy flavors fighting for attention, just pure, clean deliciousness.
  • The contrast between crispy meringue, creamy brie, and juicy peaches is addictive in a way that surprises everyone.
02 -
  • Brie is best served slightly chilled; if it's too warm, it becomes a puddle and loses its structure.
  • Slice your peaches just before assembling—they oxidize and brown quickly, and you want that fresh, just-cut look.
  • Edible silver leaf is delicate and wants to stick to everything; tweezers are your friend, and a gentle hand is essential.
03 -
  • The tweezers trick: Keep tweezers in your freezer for five minutes before applying silver leaf—cold tweezers don't activate the leaf as much, and it stays where you put it.
  • Brie selection matters more than you think; a wheel with a thin rind and a soft, spreadable center is what you're hunting for at the cheese counter.
