Ingredients

Scale

Feta Rolls

  • 8 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
  • 8 oz (225 g) feta cheese, cut into thick sticks
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Hot Honey

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2–1 tsp chili flakes (to taste)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Hot Honey: In a small bowl, combine honey, chili flakes, and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  3. Prepare Phyllo Sheets: Lay one sheet of phyllo dough flat on a clean surface. Brush it lightly with olive oil or melted butter to keep it pliable and add richness. Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano and black pepper evenly over the sheet for seasoning.
  4. Assemble Rolls: Place one piece of feta near the bottom edge of the phyllo sheet. Fold in the sides securely, then roll the dough tightly over the feta, creating a cigar-shaped roll.
  5. Repeat Process: Repeat the brushing, seasoning, and rolling steps with the remaining phyllo sheets and feta pieces until all rolls are prepared.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Arrange the rolled cigars seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with additional olive oil or melted butter to enhance browning. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired for extra crunch and flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.
  8. Serve with Hot Honey: Remove the rolls from the oven and while still warm, drizzle generously with the prepared hot honey. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors.

Notes

  • You can adjust the chili flakes in the hot honey to suit your heat preference, starting with 1/2 teaspoon for mild heat or up to 1 teaspoon for more spice.
  • If you prefer, substitute olive oil with melted butter for a richer flavor and crisper texture.
  • Phyllo dough dries out quickly, so keep unused sheets covered with a damp towel while preparing the rolls.
  • These rolls are best served fresh and warm to maintain their crispiness.
  • Serve as an appetizer or party finger food alongside a simple green salad or fresh vegetables.
