Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 18 rolls 1x
Method: Appetizer
Cuisine: Greek

Ingredients

Scale

8 ounces feta cheese crumbled
2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
1 clove garlic grated
18 sheets phyllo dough thawed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil plus more for brushing

1 tablespoon salted butter
1 ½ teaspoons chili flakes
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
⅓ cup honey

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, and grated garlic until well blended.

Lay out 3 sheets of phyllo dough, brush with olive oil, add 1-2 tablespoons of filling at one end, roll tightly into a log. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling.
Lightly brush the tops of the assembled rolls with olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

While rolls bake, melt butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add chili flakes and cumin seeds, letting them sizzle for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in honey.

Notes

First roll may not be perfect; practice improves technique. Prepare rolls ahead and bake just before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey ahead of time?

You can prepare the feta filling and wrap the rolls in advance. Keep them covered in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. For the best texture, bake them fresh and drizzle with the chili honey just before serving.

What can I use instead of phyllo dough for this recipe?

If phyllo is unavailable, you can use spring roll wrappers or even puff pastry sheets. The baking time may vary slightly. The key is a crispy wrapper that contrasts with the creamy feta in these Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey.

How do I store and reheat leftover feta rolls?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in an oven or toaster oven to restore crispiness. Avoid the microwave, as it will make the wrapper soggy.
