Description
Oven Fried Feta Rolls crispy, golden phyllo rolls stuffed with creamy feta, herbs, and a touch of honey. A light and flaky Mediterranean appetizer that’s baked, not fried and absolutely irresistible!
Ingredients
8 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
1 tbsp honey (plus extra for drizzling)
1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 tbsp melted butter or olive oil (for brushing)
Sesame seeds, for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix feta, cream cheese, honey, dill, lemon zest, and pepper until creamy and well combined.
3. Lay one sheet of phyllo on a clean surface and lightly brush with melted butter or olive oil.
4. Top with a second sheet and brush again.
5. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling along one short edge, leaving a border.
6. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly, like a cigar.
7. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet and brush tops with butter.
8. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
9. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling.
10. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden and crisp.
11. Drizzle with honey before serving and enjoy warm.
Notes
Use a mix of feta and ricotta for a creamier texture.
Add a pinch of chili flakes for a hint of heat.
Serve with tzatziki or a yogurt dipping sauce for extra flavor.
These rolls reheat beautifully in the oven or air fryer.
