Ingredients

Scale

For the Feta Rolls

  • 8 sheets phyllo pastry
  • 8 oz (225 g) block feta, cut into 8 sticks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp black pepper

For the Garlic Honey

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional)

For Serving

  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry and brush it lightly with olive oil to ensure it bakes crispy and golden. Fold the sheet in half to create a sturdier base for rolling. Place one feta stick at one end of the folded phyllo sheet, then sprinkle the top with dried oregano and black pepper for a herby, spicy flavor. Carefully roll the phyllo tightly around the feta like a spring roll, folding in the sides as you go to seal the filling inside. Repeat this process with the remaining feta sticks and phyllo sheets.
  2. Brush and Bake: Once all the feta rolls are assembled, brush the tops generously with more olive oil or melted butter. This helps the rolls to brown beautifully and achieve a crispy texture. Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet with some space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the rolls are golden, crisp, and flaky.
  3. Make the Garlic Honey: While the rolls are baking, prepare the garlic honey drizzle. In a small bowl, combine the honey, freshly grated garlic clove, lemon juice, and a pinch of chili flakes if you like a hint of heat. For a smoother pourable consistency, warm this mixture slightly in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds just before serving.
  4. Serve: Once the feta rolls are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for a minute. Drizzle the warm garlic honey generously over the hot rolls. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and fresh thyme leaves on top for added aroma and texture. Serve immediately to enjoy the rolls at their crispiest and most flavorful.

Notes

  • Handle phyllo pastry gently as it can dry out quickly; cover unused sheets with a damp cloth.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use melted butter instead of olive oil for brushing the phyllo.
  • The garlic honey drizzle can be adjusted in sweetness and heat by varying honey amount or chili flakes.
  • Serve the rolls right out of the oven to retain maximum crispiness.
  • Optional fresh thyme adds an aromatic herbal note that complements the dish well.
  • These rolls make a perfect party appetizer or a savory snack.
