Ingredients
Scale
For the Feta Rolls:
- 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 6 sheets phyllo pastry, halved
- ¼ cup melted butter or olive oil for brushing
For the Chili Honey:
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ tsp red chili flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, and fresh thyme leaves if using. Mix until smooth and well-combined to create a creamy cheese filling.
- Assemble the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface while keeping the rest covered to prevent drying out. Lightly brush the sheet with melted butter or olive oil. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture near one end of the sheet. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly to form a neat roll. Place the roll seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
- Bake the Rolls: Brush the tops of the assembled rolls with more melted butter or olive oil for that beautiful golden finish. Bake them in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare the Chili Honey: While the rolls are baking, gently warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the red chili flakes and let the mixture infuse for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to keep warm.
- Serve: Once the rolls are baked and golden, drizzle the warm chili honey over them or serve the chili honey on the side as a dipping sauce. Serve the rolls warm to enjoy the best flavor and crisp texture.
Notes
- Keep unused phyllo sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
- You can substitute ricotta cheese with cream cheese if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes in the honey to suit your heat preference.
- Serve these rolls immediately after baking for optimal crispness.
- These rolls make a great appetizer or party snack.
