Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey

Crispy phyllo rolls filled with feta, dill, and garlic, baked to golden perfection and served with sweet-spicy chili honey drizzle.[1]

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 18 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili flakes
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ⅓ cup honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, and grated garlic until well blended.
  3. Lay out 3 sheets of phyllo dough, brush with olive oil, add 1-2 tablespoons of filling at one end, roll tightly into a log, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling.
  4. Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. While rolls bake, melt 1 tablespoon salted butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add chili flakes and cumin seeds, sizzle for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in honey until combined.

Notes

Keep phyllo dough covered with a damp towel while working to prevent drying. First roll may not be perfect; practice improves technique. Rolls can be assembled ahead and baked just before serving; delicious warm or at room temperature.[1][2]
