Ingredients
8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
6 sheets phyllo pastry, cut in half
¼ cup melted butter or olive oil (for brushing)
Chili Honey:
¼ cup honey
½ tsp red chili flakes
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix feta, ricotta, and thyme (if using) until smooth.
Assemble the Rolls:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lay a half-sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter or olive oil.
Place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture near one end of the phyllo. Roll it up tightly, tucking in the sides to form a neat roll.
Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Bake the Rolls:
Arrange the rolls on a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
Prepare the Chili Honey:
In a small pan, warm the honey over low heat. Stir in the chili flakes and mix well.
Finish and Serve:
Drizzle the warm chili honey over the baked rolls or serve it on the side for dipping.
Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
– Keep phyllo sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
– Adjust chili flakes for desired spice level.
– Rolls can be frozen unbaked for later use.
