  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Phyllo dough (about 12 sheets)
  • 200g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons sweet cranberry honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing layers and sealing)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Phyllo Dough: Carefully unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp cloth to prevent drying out. On your workspace, layer individual sheets one by one, brushing each generously with melted butter to achieve a golden, flaky finish once baked.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, crumble the feta cheese and combine it with 3 tablespoons of sweet cranberry honey. Add optional chopped fresh herbs and nuts if using. Stir gently to mix flavors without breaking the cheese too much.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Place a spoonful of the feta and cranberry honey mixture near one edge of the layered phyllo sheets. Carefully roll the dough over the filling, sealing the edges with a bit of melted butter to keep the rolls intact during baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the prepared rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with more melted butter. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and crisp.
  5. Drizzle and Serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle additional sweet cranberry honey on top. Serve warm for the best flavor with creamy feta and warm honey.

Notes

  • Use cold phyllo dough and keep it covered with a damp towel to prevent tearing.
  • Brush phyllo layers generously with butter for optimal crispiness and golden color.
  • Avoid overfilling the rolls to prevent leakage during baking.
  • Serve rolls warm to enjoy creamy feta and their crisp texture.
  • Prepare rolls ahead and refrigerate before baking for convenience.
