Ingredients
- 1 package (14 ounces) phyllo dough, thawed
- 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the feta cheese, ricotta cheese, egg, 2 tablespoons olive oil, parsley, mint, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Layer another sheet on top and brush with olive oil. Repeat with two more sheets (4 sheets total).
- Cut the stack of phyllo dough lengthwise into 6 equal strips. Place a spoonful of the feta mixture at the bottom of each strip.
- Fold the corner of the phyllo dough over the filling to create a triangle. Continue folding the triangle along the strip until you reach the end. Brush the top of the roll with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Place the feta rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the feta rolls are baking, prepare the chili honey. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, chili garlic sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Heat over low heat until warmed through and slightly thinned, about 2-3 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove the feta rolls from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle generously with the chili honey and serve warm.
Notes
For extra crispy feta rolls, brush them with olive oil again halfway through baking. You can also add other herbs like dill or oregano to the feta mixture. Store leftover feta rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results. The chili honey can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
