Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 200 grams Feta Cheese crumbled
  • 150 grams Ricotta Cheese can substitute with cottage cheese for lower fat
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme Leaves optional
Pastry Ingredients
  • 8 sheets Phyllo Pastry gluten-free option available
  • 50 grams Butter or Olive Oil for brushing
Chili Honey Drizzle Ingredients
  • 100 grams Honey or maple syrup for a vegan option
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes adjust quantity to taste

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta, ricotta, and optional fresh thyme leaves. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Carefully cut the phyllo sheets in half lengthwise, keeping them covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush a phyllo strip lightly with melted butter or olive oil, and spoon some filling at one end. Fold the sides in and roll tightly, placing seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  4. Brush the tops of assembled rolls with more olive oil or butter. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
  5. In a small saucepan, gently warm honey with red chili flakes over low heat for about 1–2 minutes to infuse the honey with spice.
  6. Drizzle the warm chili honey over the baked feta rolls or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired.
  7. Serve with a side of Greek yogurt for a creamy contrast. Always keep phyllo sheets covered to prevent drying out and monitor baking closely for crispiness.
