Ingredients
  

For the Rolls
  • 1 pack Phyllo Pastry Thin layers that create a light, crunchy shell; handle gently to prevent tearing.
  • 8 oz Feta Cheese Provides a tangy, creamy filling; can substitute with halloumi or goat cheese for variety.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Dill Adds a burst of refreshing flavor; replace with dried dill (1/3 amount) if fresh isn’t available.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Mint Offers a cooling contrast to the filling; dried mint can be used as a substitute (1/3 amount).
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Zest Brightens the flavor profile; essential for balancing richness in the filling.
  • 1 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper Enhances overall flavor with a touch of heat.
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil Used for brushing the layers of phyllo; extra virgin will provide the best flavor.
For the Chili Honey Drizzle
  • 1/2 cup Honey A sweet base for the drizzle that complements the savory rolls.
  • 1 tbsp Chili Flakes Infuses the honey with a spicy kick; adjust according to your heat preference.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice Adds a touch of tartness that beautifully balances the sweetness of the honey.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped dill, mint, lemon zest, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until the herbs are evenly incorporated.
  3. Carefully unroll the phyllo pastry sheets, keeping them covered with a damp cloth. Layer one sheet on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush again.
  4. Slice the layered phyllo into 4-inch wide strips for rolling. Ensure clean cuts to avoid tearing the pastry.
  5. At the end of each strip, place about a tablespoon of the feta filling. Fold the sides in and roll tightly from the filled end.
  6. Arrange the rolled feta rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet, brushing the tops lightly with olive oil.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end.
  8. While baking, create your chili honey drizzle by warming honey, chili flakes, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat until blended.
  9. Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the warm chili honey over the top and serve while warm.
