# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The honey creates this incredible caramelized crust that people will think you spent hours perfecting
  • It works equally well for weeknight dinners or fancy holiday spreads
02 -
  • I once forgot to let it rest and served it immediately, which made the center slightly runny
  • The top will continue to darken slightly after you take it out of the oven
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly and create a better texture
  • Letting it rest for those five minutes before serving makes a huge difference in how it holds its shape
