For the Rolls

Directions
Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the phyllo
Lay one sheet of phyllo flat and brush lightly with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush again.
Fill the rolls
Place a piece of feta near one edge of the phyllo. Sprinkle with dried thyme and drizzle lightly with honey if using. Roll tightly into a cylinder and tuck ends underneath. Repeat for remaining rolls.
Bake
Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet and brush tops with remaining melted butter. Bake 12–15 minutes until golden and crisp.
Make the cranberry honey drizzle
In a small saucepan, gently warm honey and cranberry sauce with lemon juice until smooth and slightly thickened.
