Ingredients
Scale
Phyllo 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 tablespoon chili flakes
- 1/4 cup honey
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 add richness and crispiness. Place a strip of feta cheese at one edge of the dough and roll it up tightly, encasing the cheese entirely. Repeat this process with the remaining feta strips and phyllo sheets to create multiple rolls.
- Bake the Rolls: Arrange all the prepared rolls on the lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil to promote browning and crisp texture. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are beautifully golden brown and crispy.
- Make the Chili Honey Drizzle: In a small bowl, mix together the honey and chili flakes thoroughly to create a spicy-sweet sauce that complements the salty feta and flaky phyllo.
- Serve: Once the rolls are baked, drizzle them generously with the chili honey mixture while still warm. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of crunchy, creamy, and spicy flavors.
Notes
- Handle phyllo dough carefully as it tears easily; keep it covered with a damp towel while working.
- You can adjust the amount of chili flakes in the honey drizzle according to your spice preference.
- For extra crispiness, brush the rolls with both butter and olive oil before baking if desired.
- These rolls are best served fresh and warm but can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
