Mossy Stone Cheese Herbs (Printable)

Creamy goat cheese rounds covered in fresh herbs create an elegant, fresh appetizer for any gathering.

# What You Need:

→ Cheeses

01 - 12 small fresh goat cheese medallions, approximately 0.9-1.1 oz (25-30 g) each

→ Herb Coating

02 - 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
03 - 1/2 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
04 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

→ Garnishes (optional)

05 - Edible flowers or microgreens, for serving

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine chopped parsley, dill, and chives (if using) in a shallow bowl.
02 - Gently roll each goat cheese medallion in the herb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure even coverage on all sides.
03 - Place the coated cheeses on a serving platter and nestle edible flowers or microgreens around them to evoke a woodland appearance.
04 - Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours prior to serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They look fancy enough for a dinner party but take barely fifteen minutes to make.
  • Fresh goat cheese has this perfect tanginess that plays beautifully against bright herbs.
  • Naturally gluten-free and vegetarian, so you can serve them to almost anyone without worry.
02 -
  • Cold cheese rolls more easily and holds the herbs better, so take it straight from the fridge and work quickly before it softens.
  • A light touch is everything—press the herbs on gently or the cheese will split and the whole thing falls apart, which I learned the expensive way.
03 -
  • Keep your hands slightly damp while rolling—it prevents the cheese from sticking and makes the whole process smoother.
  • Make these the day of serving for maximum freshness and herb brightness, though they keep beautifully for a few hours in the fridge.
