Ingredients
  

Cheese Filling
  • 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp black pepper
Roll Assembly
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough
  • ½ cup melted butter or olive oil for a lighter option
  • 3 tbsp chili honey store-bought or homemade

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cheese Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta and ricotta cheese with oregano and black pepper. Mix well until blended.
Layer Phyllo Dough
  1. Take one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with melted butter. Layer a second sheet on top and brush again. Repeat this to create a sturdier base.
Filling
  1. Place a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture toward one end of the phyllo strip.
Roll It Up
  1. Fold the sides of the phyllo over the filling and carefully roll it up, forming a tight roll. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the Rolls
  1. Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining melted butter.
Bake
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drizzle On the Heat
  1. Once out of the oven, drizzle with chili honey for that sweet and spicy finish.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Let them cool slightly before serving; they’re best enjoyed warm!

Notes

Keep phyllo dough covered with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out. Feel free to add spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or other herbs to the cheese mixture. For storage, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze the unbaked rolls for up to a month. Bake directly from frozen, adding extra time.
