Crackling feta-ricotta rolls in golden phyllo, paired with warm honey spiked with chili flakes.
# Ingredients:
→ Rolls
01 -
225 g feta cheese, crumbled
02 -
240 g ricotta cheese
03 -
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped (optional)
04 -
6 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed if frozen, cut lengthwise into 12 strips
05 -
60 ml melted butter or olive oil, for brushing
→ Chili Honey
06 -
60 ml light honey
07 -
0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
# Steps:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta, ricotta cheese, and thyme. Mix until the filling is cohesive and smooth.
02 -
Unroll the phyllo pastry and cover with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying. Slice each sheet lengthwise to yield 12 long strips.
03 -
Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Lay one pastry strip on a work surface, brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil, and place 1 tablespoon of cheese filling at one end. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly. Place seam-side down on the prepared tray. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
04 -
Arrange rolls with spacing on the tray and brush tops with additional butter or oil. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden and crisp.
05 -
While rolls bake, gently warm honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in chili flakes and infuse for 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat.
06 -
Allow rolls to cool slightly. Drizzle with warm chili honey or serve honey alongside for dipping. Garnish with extra thyme leaves, if desired.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Keep phyllo pastry covered with a damp towel to avoid drying and cracking.
02 -
Adjust the amount of chili flakes in the honey according to spice preference.
03 -
Rolls may be assembled ahead and refrigerated before baking.
04 -
Select high-quality feta for optimal flavor.
05 -
Ricotta can be swapped with goat cheese or cream cheese for variation.
