Golden-baked phyllo rolls packed with tangy feta and creamy ricotta, brushed with sweet chili-infused honey. A crunchy, tangy, and sweet snack.
# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ For the Rolls
01 -
6 sheets phyllo dough, halved lengthwise (thawed if frozen)
02 -
1 cup creamy ricotta cheese
03 -
8 ounces crumbly feta cheese
04 -
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
05 -
1/4 cup melted butter or olive oil for brushing
→ For the Chili Honey
06 -
1/2 teaspoon spicy red chili flakes
07 -
1/4 cup runny honey
# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Mix the ricotta, feta, and thyme (if you're using it) in a medium bowl. Stir well until it's creamy and smooth.
02 -
Carefully open the phyllo and cut all sheets in half lengthwise. Keep them from drying out by covering with a damp towel.
03 -
Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay some parchment paper on a baking tray to prevent sticking.
04 -
Take one strip of phyllo, lay it flat, and lightly brush it with melted butter or oil. Spoon a tablespoon of the cheese mix at one end, fold the sides in, and roll it up snugly. Place it seam-side down on the tray. Do the same with the rest.
05 -
Brush the tops of each roll with more butter or oil. Bake them for 15 to 20 minutes until they're golden and crisp.
06 -
Heat honey gently in a small pan on low. Stir in the chili flakes and let it simmer a minute or two to soak up the flavors.
07 -
Let the rolls cool just a bit before adding the honey on top or serving it alongside for dipping. Sprinkle extra thyme on top if you'd like.
