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.
