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
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon chili flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Phyllo Rolls: Gently brush a sheet of phyllo dough with the melted butter to keep it moist and crisp up during baking. Place a strip of feta cheese along one edge of the dough, then roll it up tightly to form a neat roll. Repeat this process with the remaining sheets of phyllo and feta strips.
- Bake the Rolls: Arrange the prepared feta rolls on the lined baking sheet, then brush the tops with olive oil to achieve a golden and crisp finish. Bake them in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and crispy.
- Make the Chili Honey Drizzle: While the rolls are baking, mix the honey with chili flakes in a small bowl to create a spicy and sweet drizzle that complements the savory cheese rolls.
- Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven, drizzle the chili honey generously over them, and serve hot to enjoy the perfect balance of crispy, cheesy, spicy, and sweet flavors.
Notes
- Handle phyllo dough gently and keep it covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out while working.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes in the honey drizzle according to your preferred spice level.
- These rolls are best served immediately for maximum crispiness.
- For a vegetarian diet, ensure the feta cheese used is suitable (some vegetarians avoid animal rennet).
- Leftover rolls can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness, but are not ideal for freezing due to the delicate phyllo dough texture.
