Oven Fried Feta Rolls (Printable Version)

Crispy filo rolls packed with feta and herbs, finished with a spicy honey drizzle for a tasty snack.

# What You Need:

→ For the Feta Rolls

01 - 7 oz feta cheese
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 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
07 - 6 sheets filo pastry
08 - 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing

→ For the Chili Honey

09 - 3 tbsp honey
10 - 1-2 tsp chili flakes, to taste
11 - 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine feta cheese, cream cheese, parsley, dill, lemon zest, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Mix until fairly smooth with some small feta chunks remaining.
03 - Place one sheet of filo pastry on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Top with a second sheet and brush again. Repeat until you have a stack of three sheets. Cut the stack in half lengthwise to make two long strips.
04 - Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture near one end of each strip. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll up tightly like a spring roll.
05 - Repeat with remaining filo and filling to make 12 rolls in total. Place rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush tops with olive oil.
06 - Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
07 - Combine honey and chili flakes in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm gently for 2-3 minutes, then stir in lemon juice. Remove from heat.
08 - Drizzle the warm chili honey over the baked feta rolls and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These golden crispy rolls disappear faster than you can bake them
  • The sweet spicy honey drizzle transforms everything into something special
02 -
  • Filo dries out fast so keep unused sheets covered with a damp towel
  • Roll them tighter than you think you need to or they will unfold while baking
03 -
  • Let the cream cheese soften completely at room temperature first
  • Brush the ends of the rolls with extra oil to prevent them from drying out
