Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Filling
- 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Phyllo Dough and Assembly
- 1 package (10 oz) phyllo dough, thawed
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- Olive oil spray
Chili Honey
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta, ricotta cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Prepare Phyllo Dough: Carefully unroll the phyllo dough onto a clean surface, keeping it covered with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out while you work.
- Assemble the Rolls: Brush one sheet of phyllo dough with melted butter, then place another sheet on top and brush again. Cut the layered phyllo into roughly 4-inch-wide rectangles. Place a spoonful of the cheese filling on one end of each rectangle, then roll tightly, folding the ends inward to seal the filling.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the assembled rolls seam-side down on the lined baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil to promote browning and crispiness.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Make the Chili Honey: While the rolls bake, gently heat the honey with chili flakes in a small saucepan over low heat. Let it simmer for a few minutes to infuse the honey with a spicy kick.
- Serve: Drizzle the warm chili honey over the baked feta rolls before serving to add a sweet and spicy contrast to the savory filling.
Notes
- Keep phyllo dough covered with a damp cloth at all times to prevent it from drying and tearing.
- Adjust chili flakes in the honey to make it as mild or spicy as you prefer.
- You can prepare the chili honey ahead of time and gently reheat before serving.
- These rolls are best served warm on the day they are baked for maximum crispiness.
