Ingredients
Filling Ingredients
- 200 g feta cheese, crumbled for a salty kick

- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for brightness
- 1 tbsp olive oil, enhancing flavors
- 1 large egg, beaten for sealing the rolls

Chili Honey Sauce Ingredients
- 60 ml honey, rich and sweet
- 1-2 tsp red chili flakes, for a spicy touch (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp lemon juice, balancing the sweetness
Instructions
Preparation
- Combine the crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix until evenly combined.
- Lay a sheet of filo pastry flat, brush it lightly with olive oil. Place a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture at one end of the pastry sheet. Roll tightly and seal the edges with beaten egg.
Baking
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the assembled rolls on the tray and brush them with more olive oil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
Chili Honey Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, red chili flakes, and lemon juice. Heat over low for 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine.
Serving
- Drizzle the hot chili honey over the rolls while warm, and serve immediately.
Notes
Consider adding minced garlic to the cheese filling for more flavor. Add sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers for color and taste. Cover filo pastry with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
