Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g feta cheese, crumbled (chilled for best texture)
  • 6 sheets phyllo or puff pastry, cut into rectangles or squares
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or olive oil (for brushing pastry)
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (dill or oregano, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Crumble the chilled feta cheese into a bowl and optionally mix in fresh herbs like dill or oregano to add brightness and extra flavor.
  2. Cut and soften the pastry: Lay out the phyllo or puff pastry sheets and cut into rectangles or squares. Lightly brush each piece with melted butter or olive oil to ensure a golden, crispy crust after baking.
  3. Assemble the rolls: Place a spoonful of the feta mixture near one edge of each pastry piece. Roll tightly and seal the edges with a bit of water or butter so the filling stays neatly enclosed while baking.
  4. Bake until golden: Arrange the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
  5. Prepare the spicy honey drizzle: While the rolls bake, gently warm the honey in a small saucepan and stir in red pepper flakes. Adjust the amount of flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  6. Serve warm with spicy honey: Once baked, immediately drizzle the spicy honey over the warm rolls. This contrast enhances the flavor and texture, making each bite irresistible.

Notes

  • Use cold feta for better crumbling and to maintain shape inside the rolls.
  • Brush pastry edges with moisture to seal rolls effectively and prevent them from opening during baking.
  • Do not overfill the rolls to avoid bursting pastry.
  • Let honey infuse with red pepper flakes longer for stronger heat if desired.
  • Serve rolls immediately after baking and drizzling to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
