Description
Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey are a delightful appetizer. They combine creamy feta and ricotta with crispy phyllo dough, topped with a spicy honey drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Feta Rolls
- 8 oz feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 package (8 oz) phyllo dough (thawed)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- For the Chili Honey
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, dried oregano, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
- Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out.
- Take one sheet of phyllo dough, brush it lightly with melted butter, and place another sheet on top. Repeat this process until you have 3–4 layers.
- Cut the layered phyllo into rectangles (about 4×6 inches). Place a spoonful of the feta mixture at one end of each rectangle.
- Fold the sides over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a log. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with more melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
- While the rolls are baking, combine the honey, red chili flakes, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until warmed and well mixed.
- Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and drizzle with the chili honey. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes for desired spiciness.
- Serve immediately for best texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
