Let’s Get Rolling! The Process Overview

Let’s make these CRISPY FETA ROLLS come to life! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) – this step is so important; we want that flaky goodness to be perfect!!!

Now, grab a bowl and mix the crumbled feta cheese, cream cheese, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper until it’s soooo well combined (don’t worry if it gets a little messy – that’s part of the fun!!)!!!

Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it with some olive oil, then place another sheet on top! You’re layering the goodness here!!! Once that’s done, cut the phyllo stack into strips (about 2-3 inches wide works well!).

Place a spoonful of that creamy feta mixture at one end of each strip, then roll them up tightly – it’s like wrapping a little gift of goodness!!! Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (NO STICKINESS, yay!!!).

Now, pop them in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they’re golden brown and SUPER crispy. You’re gonna LOVE the aroma wafting through your kitchen!!! While those rolls are baking, in a small saucepan, warm the honey with chili flakes until it’s bubbly and divine!!! Drizzle this over your completed feta rolls before serving — it’s the cherry on top!!!!
