05 - Serve immediately alongside crackers or baguette slices.

# Additional Tips::

01 -

It feels restaurant-elegant but comes together in under 10 minutes with zero cooking involved.
The contrast between creamy Brie and crispy, salty Parmesan snow creates an unexpected textural surprise.
It's the kind of thing guests photograph before eating, and honestly, that's part of the fun.

02 -

If your Brie isn't properly chilled, you'll spend ten minutes fighting a cheese that wants to slouch into butter instead of holding its shape.
Grating Parmesan fresh from a wedge rather than using the powdered stuff makes an actual textural and visual difference—it catches the light differently and tastes more alive.

03 -

For extra flavor, lightly toast the grated Parmesan in a dry pan for a minute, let it cool completely, and dust it over the peaks—it adds a subtle depth and a slightly nuttier taste.
If you're serving this at a gathering where people might be timid, plate a few wedges on individual appetizer plates as an example of how to enjoy them; sometimes people just need permission to eat the pretty thing.
