Ingredients

For the cheese filling

8 oz feta cheese, crumbled Use high-quality feta for the best flavor.
1 cup ricotta cheese Can substitute with cream cheese or goat cheese.
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional) Feel free to use other herbs like parsley or dill.

For the rolls

6 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed and cut in half lengthwise Keep covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
¼ cup melted butter or olive oil Use olive oil for a lighter option.

For the chili honey

Method

Preparation

In a medium mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta, ricotta cheese, and thyme leaves (if using). Mix until smooth.
Unroll the phyllo pastry sheets and cover with a damp towel. Cut each sheet in half to create 12 strips.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Assembly

Brush one phyllo strip with melted butter or oil. Spoon 1 tablespoon of cheese filling at one end. Fold the sides inward, and roll tightly. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Brush the tops with more melted butter or oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Serving

While the rolls bake, warm honey in a saucepan and stir in red chili flakes.
Drizzle warm chili honey over the baked rolls or serve it on the side. Garnish with extra thyme if desired.

Notes

To store leftover feta rolls, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them before baking for up to a month.
