Description
Crispy phyllo wrapped around warm feta, baked until golden and served with sweet-spicy chili honey—a bold Mediterranean-inspired appetizer.
Ingredients
8 oz (225 g) feta cheese block, cut into 8 pieces
6 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed
¼ cup melted butter (or olive oil)
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
¼ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp garlic powder
Pinch of salt and pepper
For Chili Honey:
½ cup honey
1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Combine parsley, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Brush a phyllo sheet with melted butter, sprinkle with seasoning, and fold in half.
Add a slice of feta at one end, fold in sides, and roll tightly. Brush outside with butter.
Repeat with remaining phyllo and feta. Arrange seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden and crisp.
Warm honey in a small pan, stir in chili flakes, and remove from heat.
Drizzle rolls with chili honey or serve as a dipping sauce.
Notes
Add a sliver of sun-dried tomato or roasted red pepper for extra flavor.
Swap parsley for thyme or mint for a variation.
