Ingredients

For the Feta Rolls:

  • 14-16 sheets Frozen Phyllo Dough, thawed
  • 8 oz Feta Cheese, crumbled
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme Leaves, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Batistini Farms Aromatic Herb Olive Oil

For the Sauce:

  • 5 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tbsp Batistini Farms Aromatic Herb Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Chili Pepper Flakes
  • 1 sprig Thyme Leaves, chopped

Instructions

  1. Set the Oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Feta Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons honey, chopped fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Prepare the Phyllo Dough: On a clean, dry surface, lay out one sheet of phyllo dough. Lightly brush it with the Batistini Farms Aromatic Herb Olive Oil. Layer another piece of phyllo dough over the top and lightly coat it with oil. Repeat this process until you have a stack of 4 sheets.
  4. Add the Filling: Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 4 equal strips. Place a spoonful of the feta filling at the bottom of each strip. Roll up the phyllo dough, folding in the sides as you go, to form a neat roll. Continue layering with the rest of the phyllo sheets and filling until all are used.
  5. Bake the Rolls: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with more olive oil. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden and crisp.
  6. Prepare the Sauce: While the rolls are baking, make the chili honey sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the 5 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon Batistini Farms Aromatic Herb Olive Oil, chili pepper flakes, and chopped thyme leaves. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is warmed through and well combined.
  7. Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the warm chili honey sauce over the rolls before serving. If you like, sprinkle some extra fresh thyme leaves on top as a garnish.

These Flaky Chili Honey Feta Rolls are a delightful combination of savory and sweet flavors with a hint of spice.
