Golden Baked Feta Rolls with Sweet Cranberry Honey

Golden Baked Feta Rolls with Sweet Cranberry Honey

Ingredients

8 sheets phyllo dough, thawed

6 oz (170g) feta cheese, cut into thick sticks

4 tbsp melted butter or olive oil

½ cup dried cranberries

¼ cup honey

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tsp sesame seeds or chopped pistachios (optional, for topping)

Directions

Prepare the Cranberry Honey:

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, dried cranberries, and lemon juice.

Warm gently for 3–4 minutes until cranberries soften and the honey becomes syrupy.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Feta Rolls:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil.

Place a stick of feta near one end, fold in the sides, and roll tightly into a cigar shape.

Repeat with remaining phyllo and feta.

Bake:

Arrange rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Brush tops lightly with more butter or oil.

Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden, crisp, and flaky.

Finish and Serve:

Drizzle warm cranberry honey over the baked feta rolls.

Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds or pistachios if using.

Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
