Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Pastry brush
- Small bowl
- Knife
Ingredients
Feta Rolls
- 200 g Feta cheese block
- 10 Filo pastry sheets (approx. 20x30 cm each)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Chili Honey
- 4 tbsp Honey
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes or more, to taste
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
Garnish
- Fresh parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the feta block into 5 equal rectangular portions, approximately 2x2.5x5 cm each.
- Lay out one sheet of filo pastry on a clean surface and brush it lightly with olive oil. Place a second sheet directly on top and brush with olive oil as well.
Assembling the Rolls
- Place one feta portion at one end of the double filo sheet.
- Fold the sides of the filo pastry over the feta, then tightly roll the feta and filo up to form a compact roll.
- Repeat this process for the remaining feta portions and filo sheets until you have 5 rolls.
Baking
- Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filo pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Chili Honey
- While the rolls are baking, combine honey, red chili flakes, and lemon juice in a small bowl, mixing well.
- Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Drizzle the chili honey generously over the warm feta rolls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, savory, and sweet flavors.
Notes
For extra crispiness, you can lightly brush the top of the assembled rolls with a bit more olive oil before baking. Adjust chili flakes to your preferred spice level. These rolls are best served warm.
