Ingredients
Scale
Feta Rolls
- 8 oz feta cheese, cut into strips
- 8 sheets phyllo dough
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Chili Honey Drizzle
- 1 tablespoon chili flakes
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Phyllo Rolls: Gently brush one sheet of phyllo dough with melted butter to keep it moist and add flavor. Place a strip of feta cheese at one edge of the dough and roll it up tightly to encase the cheese. Repeat this process with all phyllo sheets and feta strips to create multiple rolls.
- Bake the Rolls: Arrange the prepared feta rolls evenly spaced on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil to help them crisp up beautifully. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and crispy.
- Make the Chili Honey Drizzle: While the rolls bake, mix the honey and chili flakes in a small bowl to create a spicy-sweet drizzle that will perfectly complement the savory rolls.
- Serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle the chili honey mixture over the hot rolls. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Handle phyllo dough gently as it can dry out quickly; cover unused sheets with a damp towel while assembling.
- You can adjust the amount of chili flakes in the honey drizzle depending on your preferred spice level.
- For added texture, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds or chopped fresh herbs like parsley before serving.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated to retain crispiness.
