Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14 oz) phyllo dough, thawed
- 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon chili flakes (or to taste)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine feta cheese, ricotta cheese, dill, mint, and egg. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Unroll phyllo dough and cover with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Place one sheet of phyllo on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Place a spoonful of the feta mixture on one end of the phyllo sheet. Fold the sides in and roll up tightly to form a roll. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and feta mixture.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the chili honey. In a small saucepan, combine honey and chili flakes. Heat over low heat, stirring until well combined and slightly warmed. Do not boil.
- Remove feta rolls from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle generously with chili honey before serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, brush the phyllo dough with olive oil between each layer. You can adjust the amount of chili flakes to your preference. Store leftover feta rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results. Serve warm as an appetizer or light meal.
