Ingredients
8 sheets phyllo dough
8 ounces feta cheese
4 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon chili flakes
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or mint, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Keep phyllo dough covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
3. Place one sheet of phyllo on a surface and brush with olive oil or butter.
4. Layer a second sheet on top, brush again, then add 1 ounce of feta at one end.
5. Fold sides in and roll tightly. Repeat to make 8 rolls total.
6. Place rolls seam-side down on the sheet and brush tops with oil or butter.
7. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden and crisp.
8. While baking, simmer honey and chili flakes for 3–5 minutes. Strain if desired.
9. Drizzle chili honey over baked rolls.
10. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and herbs, serve immediately.
Notes
Use high-quality block feta packed in brine for the best texture and flavor.
Brush phyllo sheets lightly to avoid sogginess.
Store chili honey separately and drizzle just before serving for optimal crispness.
