Ingredients

8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 package (10 oz) phyllo dough, thawed
4 tbsp melted butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
Olive oil spray

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta, ricotta cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 3: Carefully unroll the phyllo dough on a clean surface and keep it covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
Step 4: Brush one sheet of phyllo with melted butter, place another sheet on top, and repeat. Cut the layered dough into rectangles about 4 inches wide. Place a spoonful of cheese filling at one end of each rectangle, then roll tightly, folding in the ends to secure the filling.
Step 5: Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
Step 6: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7: While baking, gently heat honey and chili flakes in a small saucepan. Simmer for a few minutes to infuse flavors.

Tips & Variations

Always use fresh feta and ricotta cheese for the best flavor and texture.
Keep unused phyllo sheets covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Avoid overfilling the phyllo dough to ensure neat rolling and even baking.
Try adding fresh spinach, diced bell peppers, or sun-dried tomatoes to the filling for extra flavor and color.
Substitute goat cheese or a cheese blend to vary the taste.
Use gluten-free phyllo dough or rice paper wrappers for a gluten-free version.

Storage

These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To freeze, assemble the rolls before baking, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to an airtight container for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
