Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
