# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in under twenty minutes with zero cooking, meaning you can make them while sipping coffee and still look like a culinary wizard.
  • The creamy-herbaceous contrast feels elegant enough for dinner parties but tastes so honest and green that even casual gatherings feel elevated.
02 -
  • Don't prep your herbs too far in advance—if you chop them more than an hour or two ahead, they'll start to darken and lose their brightness, so do this just before rolling.
  • Room temperature cheese rolls much more easily than cold cheese, so pull your medallions from the fridge a few minutes before you start if they feel rock-hard.
03 -
  • If your herb mixture seems dry, a tiny drizzle of good olive oil will help it cling to the cheese and add richness without overwhelming the delicate flavors.
  • Taste your herb mixture before rolling—this is your moment to adjust seasoning and make sure the balance of parsley to dill feels right for your palate.
