# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in 15 minutes flat, which means you can make them while guests are still pulling up the driveway.
  • The contrast between creamy cheese and fresh herbs tastes restaurant-quality but feels homemade and personal.
  • They're naturally vegetarian and gluten-free, so you don't have to worry about dietary restrictions when sharing.
02 -
  • Don't chop your herbs more than 30 minutes before coating, or they'll start to darken and lose their vibrant color—timing matters here.
  • If your goat cheese is too cold straight from the fridge, let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes so it's pliable enough to roll without cracking.
03 -
  • Keep a damp cloth nearby while rolling so you can wipe your hands between each cheese and keep the herb coating from getting patchy.
  • Arrange them on the platter just before serving if you can, because the herbs stay brightest and most vibrant when they haven't been sitting out too long.
