# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast between warm, molten cheese and sweet apricot preserves is absolutely irresistible
  • It looks impressive but requires almost zero hands-on time, leaving you free to greet guests
02 -
  • Dont overbake or the cheese will completely collapse and ooze everywhere instead of staying contained
  • Serve this straight from the oven because the texture changes dramatically as it cools
03 -
  • If the rind has broken during transport, bake cut-side up instead
  • A drizzle of honey over the top during the last 2 minutes creates an incredible caramelized finish
