Description
Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey offer a delightful contrast of textures, with a crispy, golden-brown exterior giving way to creamy, tangy feta cheese. The sweet and spicy chili honey drizzled on top elevates the flavor experience, creating a perfect balance that tantalizes the taste buds.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Feta Rolls:
- 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 package of phyllo dough (16 oz), thawed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- For the Chili Honey:
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1–2 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix the crumbled feta, ricotta, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
- Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush again.
- Cut the layered phyllo into strips about 4 inches wide.
- Place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture at one end of each strip and roll it up, tucking in the sides as you go to seal the filling.
- Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops with more melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the chili honey by heating honey in a small saucepan over low heat and stirring in chili flakes. Remove from heat once combined.
- Drizzle the chili honey over the baked feta rolls before serving.
Notes
- Make-ahead: You can prepare the rolls and freeze them before baking. Just bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Storage: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
- Substitutions: Use goat cheese or cream cheese instead of feta for a different flavor profile.
