How to Make Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey Step 1: Prepare the Feta Filling In a bowl, mix together the crumbled feta cheese, ricotta (if using), dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 2: Prepare the Filo Dough Lay one sheet of filo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet of filo dough on top and brush it with butter as well. Repeat this step until you have stacked 3 sheets of filo dough (brushing each layer with butter as you go).
Step 3: Assemble the Feta Rolls Cut the layered filo dough into strips (about 3-4 inches wide). Place a tablespoon of the feta mixture at one end of each strip. Roll the filo dough around the feta filling to form a tight roll, folding in the sides as you go to seal the ends. Place the rolled feta on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Bake the Feta Rolls Brush the tops of the rolls with more melted butter and lightly spray with olive oil for extra crispiness. Bake the feta rolls in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Make the Chili Honey Drizzle While the rolls bake, whisk together the honey, chili flakes, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy Once the feta rolls are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle the chili honey sauce over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a side of fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- Pair with a refreshing cucumber or mint yogurt dip for added flavor.
- These rolls also go wonderfully with a glass of chilled white wine or sparkling water.
Tips for the Best Feta Rolls
- Use Fresh Filo Dough: Ensure your filo dough is thawed properly and doesn’t dry out while assembling. Cover with a damp towel while working.
- Customize the Filling: Feel free to mix in other cheeses like goat cheese or a bit of grated Parmesan for extra flavor.
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the chili flakes or use a mild chili oil.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerator: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheat: To reheat, bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to crisp them up again.
