Ingredients

• 1 package of phyllo dough, thawed
• 8 oz feta cheese, cut into small logs
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Repeat until you have 4 layers.
3. Step 3: Cut the layered phyllo into strips about 3 inches wide. Place a piece of feta at the end of each strip.
4. Step 4: Roll the feta up in the phyllo, folding the edges to seal and create a small package. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Step 5: Brush the outside of each roll with more melted butter, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy.
6. Step 6: While the rolls bake, warm the honey gently in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the chili flakes and apple cider vinegar to combine.
7. Step 7: Once the rolls are baked, drizzle them generously with the chili honey. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
8. Step 8: Serve warm and enjoy the delightful blend of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors!

Tips & Variations

• Use phyllo sheets that are well thawed and cover unused sheets with a damp towel to prevent drying out.
• For a milder heat, reduce the amount of chili flakes or use smoked paprika instead.
• Try adding a small herb sprig like thyme or oregano inside the roll with the feta for extra flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Drizzle additional chili honey before serving again.

FAQs

Can I prepare these rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the rolls and keep them covered in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. Brush with butter right before placing them in the oven.

What if I don’t have chili flakes?

If chili flakes aren’t available, you can substitute with a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce mixed into the honey for a similar spicy kick.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Phyllo Rolls

• 1 package of phyllo dough, thawed
• 8 oz feta cheese, cut into small logs
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Chili Honey Drizzle

• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Garnish

• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the rolls.
2. Prepare phyllo layers: Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Layer another sheet on top and brush again. Repeat this process until you have stacked 4 layers of buttered phyllo dough.
3. Cut and fill: Cut the stacked phyllo dough into strips approximately 3 inches wide. Place a small log of feta cheese at the end of each strip to prepare for rolling.
4. Roll the feta: Carefully roll the phyllo strips around the feta, folding the edges inward to seal and form a neat little package. Arrange the rolls seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet to prevent unrolling during baking.
5. Brush and bake: Brush the outside of each roll generously with melted butter for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are crisp and golden brown.
6. Make chili honey: While the rolls bake, gently warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the chili flakes and apple cider vinegar, combining until smooth and fragrant.
7. Drizzle and garnish: Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and immediately drizzle with the prepared chili honey. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired for a fresh, vibrant touch.
8. Serve: Serve the oven fried feta rolls warm to enjoy the perfect blend of crispy pastry, creamy cheese, and the sweet-spicy chili honey.

Notes

• Handle phyllo dough carefully as it can dry out quickly; keep unused sheets covered with a damp towel while working.
• Adjust chili flakes according to your preferred spice level.
• For a richer flavor, you can use clarified butter or olive oil to brush the phyllo layers.
• These rolls are best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
• Substitute fresh parsley with mint or basil for a different herbal note.
