Description

These Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey are crispy, golden phyllo pastries filled with a flavorful blend of feta cheese, fresh dill, and garlic, baked to perfection and served with a sweet and spicy chili honey dipping sauce. Perfect as an appetizer or snack, they combine crunchy textures with savory and sweet-spicy flavors.

Ingredients

Feta Roll Filling

  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
  • 1 clove garlic, grated

Dough and Assembly

  • 18 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing

Chili Honey Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili flakes
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seed
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the rolls bake evenly and don’t stick.
  2. Prepare Feta Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, fresh chopped dill, and grated garlic. Mix well to incorporate all flavors evenly.
  3. Assemble Rolls: Lay one sheet of thawed phyllo dough on a clean surface and fold it in half to form a rectangle. Lightly brush the edges with olive oil to help seal the rolls. Spoon a generous amount of the feta mixture onto one end of the dough and roll it tightly, folding in the sides to seal the filling inside. Repeat this process with all phyllo sheets and place the assembled rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake to Golden Perfection: Brush the tops of the rolls with additional olive oil to promote crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and crisp.
  5. Prepare Chili Honey Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the salted butter along with the olive oil. Stir in chili flakes and cumin seeds, cooking until fragrant and aromatic, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the honey thoroughly to combine the flavors.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: After baking, transfer the crispy feta rolls to a serving plate and serve immediately with the warm chili honey sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy the contrast of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors.

Notes

  • Handle phyllo dough gently to prevent tearing as it is very delicate.
  • Brush each roll generously with olive oil for extra crispiness.
  • Adjust chili flakes in the honey sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
  • Serve these rolls warm to maintain their crisp texture and flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for best texture.
