Ingredients Breakdown
Let’s chat about what you’ll need for these fantastic feta rolls. Here’s the ingredient lineup that makes this dish a quick and easy hit!
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Feta brings that creamy, tangy goodness that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of honey and the heat of chili. You can use plain or herbed feta based on what you have on hand.2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
This herb gives the rolls a refreshing flavor. If you don’t have dill, parsley or thyme can be delightful substitutes.1 clove garlic, grated
Garlic is a must for that aromatic kick! You can adjust the amount based on your family’s preference. (I might use two because y’all know I love garlic!)16-20 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
Ah, phyllo dough! It’s the magic wrapping for our feta filling. Just make sure to keep it covered as it’s easy to dry out if exposed to air.1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
This adds richness to the rolls and makes them beautifully golden.1 tablespoon salted butter
Because let’s be honest, everything is better with butter. It adds a lovely flavor and richness when mixed with the honey.1-2 teaspoons chili flakes
Adjust according to your heat preference! If your family loves it spicy, go for more!1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
Just a pinch enhances the flavor beautifully without overpowering the feta.1/3 cup honey
The star of our chili honey drizzle! It adds sweetness that balances the feta’s tang and the chili’s heat.
How to Make Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, we want to avoid any sticking!
Combine the Feta Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta, chopped dill, and grated garlic. Give it a good stir, oh, that smell is incredible!
Prepare Your Workstation: Drizzle some olive oil in a small bowl for brushing. On a clean surface, take one sheet of phyllo dough and fold it in half crosswise. Brush the entire sheet lightly with olive oil.
Add the Filling: At the short end of the phyllo sheet, spoon in about 1 rounded tablespoon of the feta mixture. Roll it up burrito-style, making sure to seal the edges to keep all that yummy cheese inside! Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat: Keep rolling, this step is surprisingly therapeutic, and fun for the kids too! Repeat until all your phyllo sheets are filled and rolled.
Brush with Olive Oil: Brush the tops of each roll with a little more olive oil. This will give them that gorgeous golden color once baked.
Bake: Pop these bad boys into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
Making the Chili Honey Drizzle
While the rolls are baking, you can whip up the chili honey drizzle!
Melt the Mixtures: In a skillet over medium heat, melt together the butter and olive oil. Add the chili flakes and cumin, stir occasionally until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the Honey: Then, pour in the honey and give it a good stir. You’re looking for it to be slightly warm and combined, which shouldn’t take more than 2-3 minutes. And trust me, it smells divine!
Let It Simmer: Allow the honey mixture to simmer gently. Now, we want it to be warm, not boiling. Just… let it do its thing for about 3-4 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy!
Once the feta rolls are out of the oven and crispy, drizzle the warm chili honey sauce over them. Serve those rolls while warm and watch them disappear!
