• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 package (8 oz) phyllo dough (thawed)

For the Chili Honey

• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Timing

Making Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey takes about 20 minutes for preparation and 20-25 minutes for baking.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Feta Filling

1. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, dried oregano, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Feta Rolls

1. Prepare Phyllo Dough: Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out.
2. Layer Phyllo Sheets: Take one sheet of phyllo dough, brush it lightly with melted butter, and place another sheet on top. Repeat this process until you have 3-4 layers.
3. Add Filling: Cut the layered phyllo into rectangles (about 4×6 inches). Place a spoonful of the feta mixture at one end of each rectangle.
4. Roll Up: Fold the sides over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a log. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with more melted butter.

Step 4: Bake the Feta Rolls

1. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Prepare the Chili Honey

1. Mix Chili Honey: While the rolls are baking, combine the honey, red chili flakes, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until warmed and well mixed.

Step 6: Serve

1. Drizzle and Enjoy: Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and drizzle with the chili honey. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Oven Fried Feta Rolls!
