# What You'll Need:

→ For the Feta Rolls

01 - 7 oz feta cheese, crumbled
02 - 3.5 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
04 - 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
05 - 1 tsp lemon zest
06 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
07 - 12 sheets phyllo pastry
08 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or olive oil for brushing)

→ For the Spicy Chili Honey

09 - 1/3 cup honey
10 - 1-2 tsp chili flakes, adjust to taste
11 - 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
12 - Pinch of salt

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, combine feta, cream cheese, parsley, dill, lemon zest, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and smooth.
03 - Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Cut the layered sheets into thirds lengthwise to create 3 strips.
04 - Place a heaping tablespoon of the feta filling near one end of each strip. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling to make 12 rolls.
05 - Arrange rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining melted butter.
06 - Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
07 - Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, chili flakes, lemon juice, and salt. Warm gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until aromatic. Do not boil. Set aside.
08 - Serve feta rolls hot, drizzled with spicy chili honey.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of warm salty feta and sweet spicy honey hits every craving at once
  • They come together in under an hour but look like you spent all day in the kitchen
  • People literally cannot stop eating them at parties
02 -
  • Working quickly with phyllo is crucial because it becomes brittle and impossible to roll once dried out
  • The honey shouldn't boil or it will become too thick and won't drizzle nicely over the finished rolls
03 -
  • If your phyllo tears don't worry just patch it with a scrap piece and keep going because the butter hides everything
  • The filling should be room temperature not cold from the fridge or the butter will solidify when you try to roll
