Mossy Stone Cheese (Printable Version)

Creamy goat cheese medallions coated with fresh herbs for a flavorful, elegant starter or platter addition.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Cheeses

01 - 12 small fresh goat cheese medallions, approximately 1 oz 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

05 - Edible flowers or microgreens, for serving (optional)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a shallow bowl, combine finely chopped parsley, dill, and chives if using.
02 - Gently roll each goat cheese medallion in the herb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating on all sides.
03 - Place the herb-coated cheese medallions on a serving platter and nestle with edible flowers or microgreens to create a woodland aesthetic.
04 - Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours prior to serving.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They come together in under 15 minutes, so you can make them while guests arrive instead of days ahead.
  • The bright herb coating makes ordinary cheese feel whimsical and intentional, transforming something humble into conversation.
  • They're naturally vegetarian, gluten-free, and always the first thing to disappear from the platter.
02 -
  • Cold cheese is easier to coat evenly; if your kitchen is warm, put the medallions in the freezer for 15 minutes before you begin.
  • The herb mixture dries out quickly once chopped, so prep everything else first and save this step for last.
03 -
  • Double-coating is a secret move: roll in herbs once, then gently press into the mixture a second time for a moss-covered effect that holds beautifully.
  • Substitute cream cheese if goat cheese tastes too sharp for your guests, or blend the two cheeses for a milder, creamier result.
