# Expert Advice:

01 -

It's devastatingly simple yet feels like you've orchestrated something special, even though you haven't turned on the stove.
Three world-class ingredients shine without competition, letting you actually taste what you paid for.
Takes ten minutes but tastes like you've spent hours thinking about it.

02 -

Cold cheese tastes like almost nothing—room temperature is non-negotiable here, and it's the difference between a board that impresses and one that whispers.
The quality of your ingredients matters more than anything you could do to them, so don't apologize for spending a little extra or taking time to find what you actually want.

03 -

Slice your Comté just before serving if you can—it stays fresher and tastes sharper when the cut is new.
Arrange everything on a board that's been sitting out for a few minutes, so the temperature is neutral and ready for your ingredients.
