# How to Cook:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, combine feta, cream cheese, parsley, dill, lemon zest, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
03 - Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Cut the layered sheets into thirds lengthwise to create 3 strips.
04 - Place a heaping tablespoon of the feta filling near one end of each strip. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling to make 12 rolls.
05 - Arrange rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining melted butter.
06 - Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and crisp.
07 - Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, chili flakes, lemon juice, and salt. Warm gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until aromatic (do not boil). Set aside.
08 - Serve feta rolls hot, drizzled with spicy chili honey.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The crispy phyllo gives way to creamy salty filling in every bite creating that perfect texture contrast everyone craves
  • You can assemble these hours ahead and bake just before serving making them the ultimate stress free appetizer for entertaining
  • The spicy chili honey drizzle transforms simple cheese into something restaurant worthy yet takes literally two minutes to make
02 -
  • Phyllo pastry dries out incredibly fast so keep the unused sheets covered with a slightly damp kitchen towel while you work
  • The filling should be room temperature not cold from the fridge or it can make the butter on your phyllo harden and crack
03 -
  • Don't overfill the rolls or the cheese will burst out during baking and make a mess of your oven
  • Work quickly but calmly with phyllo because getting stressed makes the pastry feel more difficult than it actually is
