Ingredients
  

  • For the Feta Rolls:
  • 200 g feta cheese 🧀
  • 4-6 sheets of phyllo dough 🥙
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano 🌿
  • Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
  • For the Chili Honey:
  • 1/4 cup honey 🍯
  • 1-2 tbsp chili flakes 🌶️ adjust to your spice preference
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 🍎

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush
  • Small saucepan
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven 🔥
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Prepare the Feta Filling 🧀
  4. Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl. Add oregano, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Mix until well combined.
  5. Assemble the Rolls 🥙
  6. Lay out a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface. Lightly brush it with olive oil using a pastry brush. Repeat the process with another phyllo sheet, stacking them for extra crunch.
  7. Roll and Cut ✂️
  8. Spread the feta mixture along the short edge of the dough. Roll tightly into a log, sealing the edges. Place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining sheets and feta filling.
  9. Bake to Perfection 🍽️
  10. Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  11. Make the Chili Honey 🌶️🍯
  12. While the rolls are baking, heat the honey, chili flakes, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir for 1-2 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
  13. Drizzle & Serve 🍯🌶️
  14. Remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle generously with the chili honey sauce. Serve warm and enjoy every crispy, melty, sweet-spicy bite!

Notes

Tips for Perfect Feta Rolls
Don’t Overfill: Use just enough feta mixture to avoid overstuffing, which can tear the phyllo.
Work Quickly with Phyllo: Phyllo dough can dry out fast. Keep the unused sheets covered with a damp kitchen towel while assembling the rolls.
Adjust the Spice Level: Love extra heat? Add more chili flakes to the honey, or keep it mild for a balanced flavor.
