Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) block feta cheese, preferably firm, not crumbled
• 1 package (1 pound) phyllo dough, thawed according to package directions
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 to 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Carefully unroll the thawed phyllo dough. Keep the phyllo covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out as you work.
3. Cut the block of feta cheese into 16 equal strips (approximately 1/2 inch by 2 inches each).
4. Take one sheet of phyllo dough. Lightly brush the entire surface with melted butter. Place another sheet of phyllo directly on top and brush it with butter as well. This creates a double layer for each roll.
5. Cut the buttered double-layer phyllo sheet in half lengthwise, creating two long strips.
6. Place one strip of feta at one end of a phyllo strip, leaving a small border (about 1/2 inch) on the sides. Fold the short sides of the phyllo over the feta, then tightly roll the phyllo up into a cigar shape.
7. Repeat the rolling process with the remaining phyllo and feta strips until all 16 rolls are formed.
8. Place the feta rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the rolls generously with any remaining melted butter. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are beautifully golden brown and crispy.
10. While the rolls are baking, prepare the chili honey: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of sea salt. Gently heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just warm and fragrant. Do not boil.
11. Remove the feta rolls from the oven. Arrange them on a serving platter and immediately drizzle generously with the warm chili honey. Serve hot and enjoy the magic!
