Ingredients
  

Feta Filling
  • 8 oz Feta Cheese Can substitute with goat cheese or ricotta.
  • 2 tbsp Dill Use fresh for best flavor.
  • 2 tbsp Mint Basil can be a substitute.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Zest Use zest from unwaxed lemons.
Pastry and Baking
  • 8 sheets Phyllo Pastry Keep covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
  • 4 tbsp Olive Oil Brush between layers and on tops.
Chili Honey Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Honey Use high-quality honey.
  • 1 tbsp Chili Flakes Adjust according to desired spice level.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, crumble the feta cheese and mix it with dill, mint, and lemon zest until well combined.
  3. Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface. Brush lightly with olive oil.
  4. Place a second sheet of phyllo over the first and brush again with olive oil.
  5. Cut the layered phyllo into rectangles, about 4 inches wide.
  6. Spoon a small amount of the feta mixture onto the bottom of each rectangle.
  7. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up tightly to form a log. Place seam side down on the baking sheet.
  8. Repeat with the remaining phyllo and cheese mixture.
Baking
  1. Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  2. While the rolls are baking, combine honey and chili flakes in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.
  3. Drizzle the chili honey over the warm feta rolls before serving.

Notes

If you have leftovers, allow the rolls to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through and crispy again. Experiment with different herbs depending on your preference.
