# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They look like tiny edible jewels but come together in under fifteen minutes, making you feel like a clever entertainer.
  • Fresh goat cheese paired with dill and parsley creates a flavor that's herbaceous without being heavy, perfect with wine.
02 -
  • If your goat cheese is warm or too soft, it won't hold the herb coating properly, so always chill it first.
  • The herbs lose their vibrant color and flavor if they sit chopped for too long, so prep them right before assembling.
03 -
  • Keep your goat cheese cold and your hands cool when rolling; warm hands will melt the cheese faster than you'd think.
  • If you add lemon zest to the herbs, do it just before rolling so the oils stay bright and the flavor pops.
