Print Recipe

Feta Rolls with Spicy Honey are a delightful snack featuring crispy, golden phyllo or puff pastry wrapped around creamy, tangy feta cheese and finished with a luscious, spicy honey glaze. Perfect as an appetizer or party treat, these rolls balance creamy, salty cheese with the sweet heat of honey and chili flakes, delivering irresistible flavor and texture in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Rolls

  • Phyllo dough or puff pastry sheets (about 8 sheets or 1 package)
  • 200g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano (optional)
  • Toasted walnuts or pine nuts (optional, for added crunch)

For the Spicy Honey Glaze

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl. Add lemon zest and fresh herbs if using, and mix well to combine all flavors evenly.
  2. Ready Your Pastry: Lay out phyllo sheets or puff pastry on a clean, flat surface. If using phyllo, brush each sheet lightly with olive oil or melted butter to ensure crispiness when baked.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Place a spoonful of the feta filling near one edge of the pastry. Fold in the sides and carefully roll it up to seal the filling inside. Repeat this process for all sheets and filling.
  4. Bake Until Crispy: Arrange the rolls on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Drizzle with Spicy Honey: While the rolls are baking, gently warm honey with red chili flakes over low heat for 2-3 minutes to infuse the spicy flavor. Once the rolls are baked, generously drizzle the spicy honey glaze over them for a sweet and spicy finish.

Notes

  • Use cold phyllo or puff pastry to prevent sticking and ensure even crisping.
  • Brush phyllo layers generously with olive oil or butter for maximum flakiness.
  • Warm the honey slowly with chili flakes to avoid burning and evenly distribute spice.
  • Do not overfill the rolls to avoid bursting or leaking during baking.
  • Serve rolls immediately after baking for the best crisp texture.
