# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes just 15 minutes from start to finish, so you can throw together an elegant appetizer without the stress.
  • Looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when really you just rolled some cheese in herbs.
  • Naturally vegetarian and gluten-free, so it works for almost any gathering without drama.
02 -
  • Let your goat cheese sit at room temperature for a few minutes before rolling, or it'll crack and lose its smooth surface.
  • Chop your herbs right before coating the cheese so they're still vibrant and don't oxidize into a dull color.
03 -
  • Prep your herb mixture the night before so it's ready to go, but roll the cheese right before serving for the best appearance and texture.
  • If you need to make these ahead, assemble them in a single layer on parchment paper and refrigerate, then carefully transfer to your platter just before guests arrive.
