# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine feta cheese, cream cheese, parsley, dill, lemon zest, and black pepper. Mix until fairly smooth with some small feta chunks remaining.
03 - Place one sheet of filo pastry on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Top with a second sheet and brush again; repeat until you have a stack of three sheets. Cut the stack in half lengthwise to make two long strips.
04 - Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture near one end of each strip. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll up tightly like a spring roll.
05 - Repeat with remaining filo and filling to make 12 rolls in total. Place rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush tops with olive oil.
06 - Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
07 - Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and chili flakes. Warm gently for 2–3 minutes, then stir in lemon juice. Remove from heat.
08 - Drizzle the warm chili honey over the baked feta rolls and serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The combination of creamy feta and flaky pastry creates the most satisfying texture contrast
- That chili honey drizzle transforms something simple into something people cannot stop talking about
02 -
- Filo pastry dries out incredibly fast, so keep whatever you are not using covered with a slightly damp cloth
- The rolls need to be seam side down or they will unroll while baking
03 -
- Room temperature cream cheese mixes much more smoothly than cold
- A pastry brush gives the most even coating but your fingers work in a pinch
