I made this for Christmas dinner. I'm not a fan of chevre, so I used marscapone. The lamb was moist and tender, and the taste was fantastic. But when I rolled up the lamb, a lot of the mushrooms came out of the sides, and while cooking, much of the cheese cooked out. I put the escapee mushrooms on top of the roast, and made the cooked cheese into a sauce with the drippings. Served with new potatoes and fresh green beans. I will definitely make this again, but may just make the mushrooms, shallots, and chevre into a sauce rather than stuffing the lamb.
