Description

Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey are a delightful appetizer featuring crisp phyllo dough wrapped around creamy feta cheese, baked to golden perfection and drizzled with a spicy-sweet chili honey glaze. These rolls are garnished with toasted sesame seeds and fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor and texture, making them a perfect crowd-pleaser for gatherings or a delicious snack.


Ingredients

Scale

Phyllo Rolls

  • 12 sheets phyllo dough (2 sheets per roll, 6 rolls total)
  • 6 small blocks feta cheese (approx. 1 ounce each)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Chili Honey Drizzle

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Garnish

  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the rolls.
  2. Prepare Phyllo Sheets: Gently unroll the thawed phyllo dough and cover it with a slightly damp towel to prevent drying out while assembling the rolls.
  3. Layer Sheets: Take one sheet of phyllo and brush it evenly with olive oil or melted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush again to ensure crispiness.
  4. Cut Dough: Cut the stacked sheets into thirds lengthwise to create strips ready for filling.
  5. Fill and Roll: Place a small block of feta cheese at one end of each strip. Roll the dough tightly around the cheese, folding in the sides to seal each roll securely.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil or butter and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.
  7. Bake Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are crisp and golden brown.
  8. Make Chili Honey: While the rolls bake, combine honey and chili flakes in a small saucepan and heat over low heat for about 5 minutes. Allow the chili honey to cool slightly.
  9. Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle the warm chili honey over the hot baked rolls and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  10. Serve: Serve the rolls immediately while warm and crispy to enjoy the perfect blend of flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Make sure to cover phyllo dough with a damp towel during preparation to prevent it from drying out.
  • Adjust chili flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • Use melted butter or olive oil based on flavor preference.
  • Fresh mint garnish is optional but adds a refreshing contrast to the sweet and spicy glaze.
  • Serve these rolls warm for the best texture and taste experience.
  • Freezing the assembled rolls before baking can make handling easier; simply bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to cooking time.
