These crispy feta rolls with a sweet and spicy chili honey drizzle are the perfect appetizer or snack! The creamy cheese filling wrapped in crispy phyllo pastry is balanced with the heat from the chili honey. Let’s make this irresistible treat!
Ingredients
For the Rolls:
8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
6 sheets phyllo pastry, cut in half
¼ cup melted butter or olive oil (for brushing)
For the Chili Honey:
¼ cup honey
½ tsp red chili flakes
Directions
1. Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix together the crumbled feta, ricotta cheese, and thyme (if using) until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
2. Assemble the Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lay a half-sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and lightly brush with melted butter or olive oil.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture at one end of the phyllo sheet. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form a neat roll.
Repeat with the remaining sheets of phyllo and cheese mixture.
3. Bake the Rolls:
Arrange the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Make the Chili Honey:
While the rolls bake, heat the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the red chili flakes and mix well.
Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes to let the flavors blend.
5. Serve:
Drizzle the warm chili honey over the baked feta rolls or serve it on the side for dipping.
Garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Serve the rolls warm and enjoy!
