Herring roll with cheese, of course, is not as popular a snack as sandwiches or pickled champignons, but it will be very useful for the variety of the holiday table. With such an appetizer you can easily surprise and delight your guests who don’t even know about it. There can be several dozen options for preparing a herring roll. More than ninety percent of all recipes are based on cheese. Cheese for herring fish roll is taken in the form of processed cheese, classic processed soft cheese “Yantar” or cream cheeses. In addition to the cheese, greens and vegetables are added to the filling - carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, green onions, olives.
Product composition
- one large carcass of lightly salted herring (or two fillet halves);
- 100 grams of processed (or cream) cheese;
- 40 grams of butter;
- dried or fresh dill (to taste);
- 3 sprigs of parsley;
- half a teaspoon of lemon juice.
Step-by-step cooking process
- , if you use the recipe from our website.
- We clean the herring, remove the entrails, head, tail, and fins. Carefully remove the black film (it will taste bitter in the finished dish).
- Separate the fillet from the bones and cut into two parts. Sprinkle the fillet halves with lemon juice.
- You can do it a little differently. Cut off the tail and head of the herring carcass. Use a sharp knife to cut open the stomach. Remove all entrails. After this, rinse the fish with cold water. Cut out the dorsal fin. Now use a knife to make a light cut on the inside along the spine. Carefully open the fish carcass.
- Take out the spine. Remove all large bones from the resulting fish fillet. As a result, you should get something like this from fish fillets for a herring roll with melted cheese. As you can see in the photo, the fish fillet turned out to be not quite even; the part in the middle of the fillet, where the ridge was located, has a depression.
- To make the herring roll beautiful, we need to get a more even layer of fillet. Place it on a cutting board, skin side down.
- Cover with cling film. Using a chop mallet, lightly pound the fish fillet, starting from the sides and gradually moving towards the center. This way, the meat will move to the center of the fillet, where there was a depression.
- Place the processed cheese and soft butter into a small bowl (it is better to remove these products from the refrigerator in advance and let them sit at room temperature).
- Mash the cheese and butter well with a fork, add dried or fresh dill and chopped parsley.
- Advice. Instead of oil, you can use mayonnaise and add one clove of garlic, passed through a press.
- Mix the mixture thoroughly and spread it on one half of the fillet. Cover everything with the second half of the herring and press lightly with your hands. Or we grease the whole carcass with the resulting filling and roll it into a roll (lengthwise).
- Wrap the herring in cling film and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Then take it out, cut it with a sharp knife, crosswise, into pieces 1.5-2 centimeters wide.
- Place them on a serving plate, decorate them at your discretion and serve.

ADVICE
Before you cook herring, you need to choose it correctly. A good herring carcass is elastic and dense. There should be no stains or visible damage on the herring skin. Fish should not contain foreign odors. By the way, a carcass with a thick back is often tastier. But fish with red eyes are usually less salty. We wish you a good choice!
Lightly salted herring is healthier than heavily salted fish. Herring producers add a large number of harmful preservatives to their products. Cook at home, and then you will be confident in the quality of your food.
This recipe will allow you to prepare not just delicious herring, but rolls based on it. It's very simple, you just need to wait a little.
First, buy herring. Give preference to oceanic water - it contains fewer harmful substances. But sea fish will not be so safe. Take large herring with evenly colored scales. Wash the fish and remove the gills. The tastiest herring is salted whole. Boil 500-600 ml of water, dissolve 1 tablespoon of salt and sugar in it. Cool the brine to room temperature and pour it over the fish. After 2 days in the refrigerator, the herring will be ready.
Fillet the fish, removing all bones using tweezers. By the way, on an industrial scale, bones are removed using chemicals. It's safer to cook yourself! The peel is easily removed with a sharp knife. Place the fish on one layer of cling film and cover with a second layer. Gently pound the fillet with a kitchen hammer. The upper part of the film can be removed, because it was needed only to prevent pieces of fish from flying around.
To fill the rolls, mash the processed cheese with a fork, adding one teaspoon each of sour cream and mayonnaise.
The filling is placed on the herring. You can add your favorite spices. Black pepper and coriander go well with herring.
You can add pickled peppers or cucumbers on top. Salted ones are also suitable. Add parsley, dill or green onions. This way the rolls will not only be tasty, but also very colorful.
All that remains is to roll the fish into a tight roll. Since the herring lies on the film, this is very easy to do. Now you need to leave the roll in the freezer for 1 hour.

Snacks are an indispensable component of any holiday table, but there can be a great variety of options. Today you can find something for almost every taste, but this dish is definitely not like all the others. We offer you an unusual and very tasty appetizer with melted cheese and herring, which can be safely served on a holiday table, or even on New Year's Eve!
We recommend cooling the herring roll in the freezer rather than in the refrigerator, since a slightly frozen roll will be easier to cut into portions. But don’t forget to take the roll out after two hours, otherwise it will freeze on your stone and you certainly won’t be able to cut it. Let's take a closer look at how this wonderful appetizer is prepared!
Ingredients for making herring rolls:
- 1 lightly salted herring;
- a pinch of sea salt;
- 150 g of processed cheese or curd cheese;
- 1 red pepper;
- ground black pepper;
- a couple of sprigs of dill;
- half of black bread.
How to cook with photos step by step
The first step is to clean the herring and then fillet it. Remove the skin from the fillet and carefully remove all the bones. 
Place the herring fillets on cling film so that the bellies overlap. Cover with cling film and then beat the top a little with a hammer. The fillet should eventually become absolutely identical throughout its entire thickness. 
The cheese for herring rolls needs to be heated to room temperature by simply placing it on the table in advance. We grease the top of the herring with cheese; if it is warm, then this will be quite easy to do. Do not overdo it with the spread, otherwise you will not be able to wrap the roll.
We used the sandwich spread. But we still recommend that you use processed or curd cheese.
Sprinkle them on top of our herring. 
Using film, we roll the herring into a roll, wrap it with film on top, and then put the herring roll in the freezer for a couple of hours so that it hardens.
Then cut the roll into medium pieces with a sharp knife.
Now let's prepare the basis for our appetizer. 
We cut out circles from black bread for herring rolls, we do this using a glass. These bread mugs can be dried a little in a frying pan, but this is optional. 
Place the herring rolls on the rounds of bread. 
Decorate the appetizer with herbs and serve.
