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 Rolls

  • 1 package (10 oz) phyllo dough, thawed
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • Olive oil spray

Spicy Chili Honey

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Prepare Phyllo Dough: Carefully unroll the thawed phyllo dough onto a clean surface. Keep it covered with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out and becoming brittle while working.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Take one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush it with butter again. Repeat to create a layered stack. Cut the layered dough into rectangles about 4 inches wide. Place a spoonful of the cheese filling at one end of each rectangle, then roll tightly while folding in the ends to secure the filling inside.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each rolled phyllo seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the rolls with olive oil to help achieve a golden-brown crispiness during baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crisp to the touch.
  7. Make the Chili Honey: While the rolls bake, place the honey and chili flakes in a small saucepan over low heat. Gently warm the mixture, allowing it to simmer for a few minutes to infuse the honey with the spicy flavor of the chili flakes.
  8. Serve: Drizzle the warm chili honey over the crispy feta rolls before serving for the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors.

Notes

  • Keep the phyllo dough covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out while assembling.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes in the honey to your preferred spice level.
  • Use melted butter for brushing the phyllo sheets to get a crispy, golden texture.
  • Serve the rolls warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain crispness instead of using a microwave.
