# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes 15 minutes from fridge to platter, perfect for last-minute gatherings when you want something that looks thoughtfully made.
  • The creamy, tangy cheese paired with fresh herbs hits that sweet spot between sophisticated and completely unpretentious.
  • Naturally vegetarian and gluten-free, which means it works for almost anyone without feeling like a compromise.
02 -
  • Don't press the herbs so hard they bruise and turn dark—a light roll creates that moss-stone effect; too much force just makes a messy coating.
  • If your goat cheese is very cold, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes so the herbs actually stick instead of sliding off.
03 -
  • Prep your herbs the morning of; they stay fresher when chopped just before assembly rather than hours in advance.
  • If you're traveling with these, transport them uncovered on a flat container and arrange them on your host's platter when you arrive—they look best when just dressed.
