Ingredients
Scale
- 8 sheets of phyllo pastry
- 200 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crumbled feta, dill, mint, lemon zest, and a generous pinch of black pepper. Mix well until the herbs and zest are evenly distributed throughout the cheese.
- On a clean, dry surface, lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry and lightly brush with olive oil. Carefully place another sheet on top, brushing it with oil as well.
- Cut the layered phyllo sheets into 4 equal strips lengthwise.
- Spoon approximately one tablespoon of the feta mixture onto the end of each strip.
- Fold the sides over the filling and roll up the pastry into a cylinder, ensuring that the filling is sealed inside.
- Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly brush the tops with olive oil and repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the chili honey by combining the honey, chili flakes, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Warm the mixture over low heat until it’s slightly runny, stirring occasionally.
- Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Drizzle the warm chili honey over the rolls before serving or serve it on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the phyllo pastry remains covered with a damp cloth while you work, to prevent it from drying out.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes according to your spice preference.
- These rolls can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
