Ingredients
  

For the Rolls
  • 8 sheets Phyllo pastry Essential for creating layers that are crispy and light when baked.
  • 8 oz Feta cheese Feel free to substitute with halloumi or goat cheese.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh dill Adds an aromatic flavor; dried dill can be used in a pinch.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh mint Brings a refreshing brightness; dried mint can be used but use less.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon zest Infuses a citrusy zing for flavor contrast.
  • 1 tsp Black pepper A seasoning staple that adds warmth to the filling.
  • 4 tbsp Olive oil Keeps phyllo layers moist and helps achieve golden-brown finish.
For the Chili Honey Drizzle
  • 1/2 cup Honey The sweet base for your drizzle.
  • 1 tsp Chili flakes Adds a kick of heat; adjust to suit spice preference.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice Brightens the mixture and enhances overall flavor.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine feta cheese, dill, mint, lemon zest, and black pepper. Mash and mix until smooth.
  3. Unroll phyllo pastry on a clean surface. Lightly brush a sheet with olive oil, layer another on top, and repeat until a sturdy base is formed.
  4. Cut the layered phyllo into strips approximately 3 inches wide.
  5. At one end of each phyllo strip, add a tablespoon of filling. Fold sides over to create a closed end and roll tightly.
  6. Place rolled feta cylinders seam-side down on the lined baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining olive oil.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  8. In a small saucepan, gently warm honey over low heat. Stir in chili flakes and lemon juice for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Once rolls are golden, drizzle with warm chili honey and serve, with extra on the side if desired.
