These Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey are a delightful appetizer featuring crispy, golden phyllo dough filled with a creamy feta and ricotta mixture. Baked until perfectly crisp, they are served drizzled with a sweet and spicy chili-infused honey, combining savory, sweet, and spicy flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Phyllo Dough

  • 1 package (10 oz) phyllo dough, thawed
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • Olive oil spray

Chili Honey

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta, ricotta cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a creamy and flavorful cheese filling.
  3. Prepare Phyllo Dough: Carefully unroll the phyllo dough onto a clean, dry surface. Keep the dough covered with a damp cloth during preparation to prevent it from drying out and becoming brittle.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Take one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it evenly with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush that with butter as well. Cut the stacked sheets into approximately 4-inch wide rectangles. Spoon a generous amount of the cheese filling onto one end of each rectangle, then roll tightly, folding in the ends to securely enclose the filling.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the assembled rolls seam-side down on the lined baking sheet to prevent unrolling. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil to enhance crispness and browning while baking.
  6. Bake the Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crisp on the outside. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
  7. Make the Chili Honey: While the rolls bake, gently heat the honey and chili flakes in a small saucepan over low heat. Let it simmer for a few minutes to infuse the honey with chili flavor, then remove from heat and set aside.
  8. Serve: Drizzle the warm chili honey over the hot feta rolls just before serving to add a delicious sweet and spicy finish.

Notes

  • Keep the phyllo dough covered with a damp cloth at all times to prevent drying out.
  • Adjust chili flakes in the honey to your preferred spice level.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, as phyllo crisps soften over time.
