FAQ

  • Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh herbs?

    Yes, you can use dried herbs, but fresh herbs will provide a brighter and more vibrant flavor. If using dried herbs, reduce the quantity to about half the amount specified for fresh herbs.
  • How long will these goat cheese crumbles last?

    The goat cheese crumbles are best when used immediately. However, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The herbs may wilt slightly over time.
  • Can I use a different type of citrus zest?

    Yes, you can substitute the lemon zest with orange or lime zest for a different flavor profile. Orange zest provides a sweeter flavor, while lime zest offers a more tart and tangy taste.
