- Diet: Gluten Free (use gluten-free phyllo or alternatives)
Filling
- 200g feta cheese, crumbled
- Optional: 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or mint)
- Optional: 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Wrappers & Assembly
- 8 sheets phyllo dough
- 2 tbsp melted butter or olive oil (for brushing phyllo)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Olive oil spray
Chili Honey Topping
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust based on heat preference)
- Prepare the Feta Filling: Crumble feta cheese into a mixing bowl. If desired, mix in freshly chopped herbs and/or crushed red pepper flakes to enhance flavor.
- Assemble the Rolls with Phyllo Dough: Lay one phyllo sheet on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil to prevent drying. Spoon a small amount of the feta filling near one edge, then roll tightly into a small cylinder. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling. Brush the tops of each roll with beaten egg to promote golden browning.
- Oven Fry the Rolls: Place rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil for even crisping. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and crisp on all sides.
- Prepare the Chili Honey: While baking, combine honey and chili flakes in a small bowl. Adjust chili flakes to your preferred spice level.
- Drizzle and Serve: Once rolls are hot and crispy, remove from oven and generously drizzle chili honey over them. Serve warm for best taste.
Notes
- Use fresh phyllo dough and cover it with a damp towel to keep it from drying out.
- Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent bursting during baking.
- Apply a light coat of olive oil spray or brushing for crispiness without excess fat.
- Adjust chili flakes in the honey to balance sweetness and heat.
- Serve immediately while warm for optimal crunchiness and flavor.
