Ingredients:
- 8 ounces feta cheese
- 8 sheets phyllo dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried herbs (like oregano or basil)
- Optional: fresh herbs, spinach, olives, or roasted red peppers
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions:

Prepare Filling: In a bowl, crumble the feta cheese into small pieces. Mix in the dried herbs and garlic powder. If you like, add some fresh herbs, spinach, olives, or roasted red peppers for extra flavor.

Assemble Rolls: Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface. Brush it lightly with olive oil. Place a spoonful of the feta mixture at one end of the dough. Roll it tightly into a log shape. Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo sheets and feta mixture.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Make Chili Honey Drizzle: While the rolls are baking, warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the chili flakes and stir well. Then, add the lemon juice, mix, and keep the sauce warm.
-
Serve: Once the rolls are done baking, drizzle them with the chili honey sauce and serve immediately. You can also offer sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.
