# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, combine feta, cream cheese, parsley, dill, lemon zest, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
03 - Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Cut the layered sheets into thirds lengthwise to create 3 strips.
04 - Place a heaping tablespoon of the feta filling near one end of each strip. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling to make 12 rolls.
05 - Arrange rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining melted butter.
06 - Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and crisp.
07 - Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, chili flakes, lemon juice, and salt. Warm gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until aromatic (do not boil). Set aside.
08 - Serve feta rolls hot, drizzled with spicy chili honey.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The contrast between warm salty feta and sweet spicy honey hits every pleasure receptor at once
- They come together faster than you can debate what to order for takeout
- Phyllo dough makes everything look fancy while doing most of the work for you
02 -
- Phyllo dough tears but nobody will know once they are rolled up and baked
- The honey drizzle can be made ahead and reheated gently when needed
- These are best straight from the oven but can be reheated at 175°C for 5 minutes
03 -
- Work quickly with phyllo and keep unused sheets covered with a slightly damp towel
- The rolls should feel tight and firm when you roll them, like little sleeping bags
- Let the honey cool slightly before drizzling so it clings rather than runs off
