introduction

Crispy Feta Rolls are small pastry rolls filled with creamy feta. They bake fast and taste great with a sweet chili honey. This snack works for a party or a quick bite. If you like feta on toast, check this avocado toast with feta and cherry tomatoes for another simple idea.

why make this recipe

Make these rolls because they are quick, tasty, and easy to share. The filling is creamy and salty and the phyllo turns crisp and light. You can serve them warm or at room temperature. This recipe is also simple, like this other feta toast idea I love — avocado toast with feta and cranberries.

Work on one roll at a time so the phyllo stays crisp. Keep unused phyllo covered with a damp towel to stop it from drying. For another baked feta idea, see baked feta eggs.

Ingredients :

Phyllo dough
Feta cheese

Directions :

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix crumbled feta cheese and cream cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Layer another sheet on top.
Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture at one end of the phyllo and roll tightly.
Place the roll on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
In a small saucepan, heat sweet chili sauce and honey together until combined.
Drizzle the chili honey over the baked rolls before serving.

how to serve Crispy Feta Rolls

Serve warm so the filling feels soft and the phyllo stays crisp. They work as an appetizer or snack. Offer extra sweet chili honey on the side for dipping. Pair them with a fresh salad or a warm side like baked feta eggs with tomatoes and spinach.

how to store Crispy Feta Rolls

Cool the rolls to room temperature first. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-8 minutes to bring back the crisp. For a meal plan, serve leftovers with a pasta like baked feta pasta.

tips to make Crispy Feta Rolls

Work quickly with phyllo and keep sheets covered.
Brush each layer lightly with oil for even browning.
Use full-fat cream cheese for a smooth filling.
Do not overfill the phyllo to avoid breaks.
Warm the chili honey slightly so it pours easily.

variation (if any)

Add chopped herbs like dill or parsley to the cheese mix.
Mix in a little lemon zest for a fresh bite.
Use puff pastry instead of phyllo for a different texture.
Add chopped roasted red pepper or olives for more flavor.
