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 the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the rolls don’t stick during baking.
- Prepare Phyllo Rolls: Brush one sheet of phyllo dough lightly with the melted butter. Place a strip of feta cheese at one edge of the sheet, then carefully roll it up tightly to encase the cheese. Repeat this process with all phyllo sheets and feta strips to create individual rolls.
- Bake the Rolls: Arrange the feta rolls on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with olive oil to help them brown beautifully. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
- Make the Chili Honey Drizzle: While the rolls bake, combine the honey and chili flakes in a small bowl, mixing well to create a spicy-sweet drizzle.
- Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle the chili honey over them. Serve hot for the best combination of warm, crispy, and flavorful bites.
Notes
- You can use store-bought phyllo dough; just be sure to keep it covered with a damp towel while working to prevent drying out.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes in the honey based on your heat preference.
- These rolls are best served immediately to maintain crispiness but can be reheated briefly in the oven.
- If you prefer a milder taste, substitute chili flakes with smoked paprika or omit entirely.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some fresh herbs like oregano or thyme on top before baking.
