Notes
[‘Toast the bread until golden and slightly crispy, but avoid over-toasting.’, ‘Use room-temperature Brie for easier slicing and better melting.’, ‘Choose ripe strawberries for optimal sweetness.’, ‘Warm the honey slightly for easier drizzling and enhanced flavor.’, “Place the Brie first to act as a ‘glue’ for the strawberries.”]
