Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 200g feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs like parsley or oregano, chopped (optional)
Assembly
- 8–10 phyllo or spring roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Olive oil spray or brush (for coating)
Sweet Chili Honey Drizzle
- 3 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl and mix in chopped fresh herbs if using. Set aside to keep the creamy, tangy base ready for rolling.
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay the phyllo or spring roll wrappers flat and brush each sheet lightly with beaten egg wash to seal. Place a small amount of feta mixture near one edge, then roll tightly into cylinders, sealing the edges with more egg wash to keep the filling inside during baking.
- Preheat and Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the rolls on a parchment-lined baking tray, then lightly brush or spray them with olive oil to promote a golden, crispy finish.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through for even browning. Monitor closely to ensure a crispy golden exterior without burning.
- Drizzle with Sweet Chili Honey: Warm the sweet chili sauce slightly then mix with honey to taste. Drizzle this mixture over the warm rolls or serve it alongside as a dipping sauce.
Notes
- Wrap rolls tightly to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
- Use fresh or properly thawed phyllo sheets for best crispiness and to avoid cracks.
- Lightly brush with olive oil to enhance browning without heaviness.
- Space rolls evenly on the baking tray to ensure proper air circulation and even crisping.
- Adjust the sweet chili honey drizzle to your taste for the perfect balance of sweetness and heat.
