# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in 15 minutes flat, making them perfect for last-minute entertaining or an impulsive appetizer urge.
  • The creamy cheese paired with bright, fresh herbs tastes expensive and elegant, but costs a fraction of what guests will assume.
  • They're naturally vegetarian and gluten-free, so you're never stressed about dietary restrictions at your table.
02 -
  • Don't skip the finely chopped step for your herbs—larger pieces won't stick properly and the whole effect falls apart.
  • Room-temperature or slightly chilled cheese rolls best; if your goat cheese is straight from the cold, let it sit out for five minutes or it'll crack and crumble instead of accepting the herb coating gracefully.
03 -
  • Prep all your herb components the morning of and store them separately; your herbs stay fresher and you avoid bruising them by chopping too far ahead.
  • If a cheese piece breaks during rolling, don't worry—just reshape it gently in your hands, re-roll it, and move on; these are meant to feel a little rustic anyway.
