# Expert Advice:

01 -

It flips everything you think you know about grilled cheese and somehow works perfectly.
Ready in twenty minutes, so you can be bold on a weeknight without any fuss.
The crispy butter-toasted sourdough against warm Nutella is pure comfort with an edge.

02 -

If your skillet is too hot, the bread will scorch before the brie even thinks about melting.
Softened butter spreads without tearing, but cold butter will rip your bread and leave bare spots that won't crisp.
Slice the chicken as thin as you can so every bite has a little of everything.

03 -

Press the sandwich gently while it cooks so the fillings meld without squeezing out the sides.
Use rotisserie chicken to save time, and shred it instead of slicing if that's easier.
Let the sandwich rest for a full minute after cooking so the Nutella thickens slightly and doesn't run everywhere when you cut it.
