Ingredients
Scale
- 8 phyllo dough sheets, thawed
- 1 block feta cheese, sliced into 3-inch sticks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes or a few drops of hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for topping (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Slice block feta into sticks about ½-inch thick and 3 inches long
- Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil
- Add a second sheet on top, brush again, then place a piece of feta near the bottom edge
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly, repeating for each roll
- Arrange all rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet and brush tops with olive oil
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if using, then bake for 18–22 minutes until golden and crispy
- While baking, warm honey in a small saucepan and add chili flakes or hot sauce to create the chili honey
- Let rolls cool slightly, drizzle generously with chili honey, and serve immediately
- Enjoy these oven fried feta rolls with chili honey as an appetizer or part of a Mediterranean-style mezze board
Notes
- For a creamier filling, mix feta with a spoonful of ricotta
- Use pre-made chili honey for convenience without compromising flavor
- Add chopped herbs like thyme or parsley for a fresh, herby kick
- Avoid using crumbled feta—it can leak and won’t hold shape well
- Serve with red pepper hummus or tzatziki as delicious dipping sauces
