# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes just 20 minutes but tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen—a secret weapon for impressing guests
  • The prosecco-soaked grapes burst with a delicate fizzy sweetness that keeps people reaching for more
  • Naturally vegetarian and can easily be gluten-free, so everyone at your table feels included
02 -
  • The grapes must be drained and dried thoroughly—I learned this the hard way when a guest's toast went soggy just as they picked it up. Excess prosecco is the enemy of texture.
  • Don't remove the cheeses from the fridge until you're ready to assemble. Cold cheese slices better and holds together better on the warm toast, becoming just slightly creamy rather than pooling into a mess.
03 -
  • For a non-alcoholic version that still feels festive, soak your grapes in sparkling white grape juice—you lose nothing in elegance
  • If you're making these ahead, assemble everything except the gold dust, then add that final shimmer just before guests arrive for maximum impact
