Ingredients
Scale
Phyllo Rolls
- 1 package of phyllo dough, thawed
- 8 oz feta cheese, cut into small logs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Chili Honey Drizzle
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the rolls.
- Prepare Phyllo Layers: Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface, brush lightly with melted butter, and layer with another sheet brushing again. Repeat until you have 4 layers stacked.
- Cut Strips: Cut the layered phyllo dough into strips about 3 inches wide, preparing them for filling.
- Fill and Roll: Place a piece of feta cheese at the end of each strip, then roll up the phyllo around the feta, folding the edges to seal and form a neat package. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with Butter & Bake: Brush the outside of each roll with melted butter and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the rolls turn golden and crispy.
- Prepare Chili Honey: While the rolls are baking, gently warm the honey in a saucepan over low heat, then stir in chili flakes and apple cider vinegar to combine the flavors.
- Drizzle and Garnish: Once the rolls are baked, drizzle generously with the prepared chili honey and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve: Serve the rolls warm to enjoy the contrasting sweet, spicy, and savory flavors in every bite.
Notes
- Ensure phyllo dough is properly thawed and covered with a damp cloth during preparation to prevent drying out.
- Adjust chili flakes to tolerance for spice preference.
- Use fresh parsley only if desired for a fresh herbal touch; it can be omitted.
- For a crispier texture, bake until phyllo is deeply golden but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Can be served immediately or reheated gently before serving.
