Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 200g feta cheese, cut into small rectangles
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • 3 tbsp honey (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Pastry & Coating

  • 8 sheets phyllo pastry
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Optional Garnish

  • Powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the rolls perfectly golden and crispy.
  2. Prepare the phyllo sheets: On a clean surface, lay one sheet of phyllo pastry and brush it lightly with melted butter. Layer a second sheet on top and brush with more butter. Repeat the process until you have 2 to 3 layers thick, which will create a flaky, buttery crust.
  3. Assemble the rolls: Place a small rectangle of feta cheese near the bottom third of the layered phyllo sheet. Sprinkle dried cranberries, a pinch of cinnamon, and lemon zest evenly over the feta. Fold the sides of the phyllo over the filling and roll tightly to enclose everything securely. Brush the top of each roll with more melted butter to promote browning.
  4. Bake: Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown and crisp.
  5. Finish & serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and while still warm, drizzle them generously with honey. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar to add a touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh and high-quality feta for the best flavor and texture.
  • Handle phyllo pastry gently as it is delicate and can dry out quickly; keep unused sheets covered with a damp cloth.
  • For a nuttier crunch, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the filling along with cranberries.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated briefly in the oven.
  • Adjust honey drizzle to your preferred sweetness level.
