  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Feta Rolls:

  • 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 package of phyllo dough (approximately 16 sheets)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Chili Honey:

  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Optional Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Feta Filling

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 2: Assemble the Rolls

  1. Prepare the Phyllo Dough:
    • Carefully unroll the phyllo dough and keep it covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
    • Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, flat surface. Brush it lightly with melted butter.
    • Place a second sheet of phyllo dough on top and brush it with more butter.
  2. Add the Filling:
    • Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture along the edge of the phyllo dough.
    • Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a log.
    • Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo sheets and cheese mixture.

Step 3: Bake the Rolls

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Arrange Rolls: Place the prepared rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake: Brush the tops of the rolls with any remaining melted butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Make the Chili Honey

  1. Heat Honey: In a small saucepan, combine honey and chili flakes.
  2. Warm: Heat over low heat for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the honey is infused with the chili flavor. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Drizzle and Garnish: Once the rolls are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle them generously with the warm chili honey.
  2. Garnish: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
