Your typical cheese appetizer just got a makeover. If you’re a fan of mozzarella cheese sticks or really just cheese in general, you are going to be obsessed with these Stone Hollow Crispy Feta Rolls. Made with their local feta cheese, these rolls are incredibly easy to make while also doubling as a delicious party appetizer.
Crispy Feta Rolls
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
For the pastry:
- 12 phyllo pastry sheets (you may need 2 packs) thawed if frozen
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup light olive oil, or as needed
For the filling:
- 10 ½ oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup ricotta
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
For the hot honey:
- ⅓ cup Stone Hollow Wildflower honey
- 2 tsp chili flakes
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- Pinch salt
Instructions:
To make the cheese filling, combine crumbled feta cheese, ricotta, honey and thyme in a bowl and mix together to combine. Alternatively whip the filling in a food processor or mini chopper. You want the filling to be a little chunky, not completely smooth and runny.
To assemble the rolls, put the butter in a small pan and melt over low heat. Add the olive oil. Cut a pack of phyllo pastry in half so that you have two stacks of pastry squares. Keep the phyllo covered with a slightly damp cloth while you are working so it doesn’t dry out.
Lay one phyllo square on your worktop and brush with the melted butter and oil. Layer two more sheets of phyllo over the top, brushing each with butter/oil. Spoon some of the filling about an inch in from the border on the pastry closest to you. Don’t overfill! Brush with oil/butter and fold the edges in to encase the filling.
Fold the edge closest to you over the filling and then roll, burrito style, to make a neat parcel. Remember to always brush with butter/oil so that the pastry sticks together and crisps up when baked. Keep the rolls covered with a damp cloth until you are ready to cook.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F / 200°C for three minutes. Place three rolls on a rack or directly in the air fryer basket and cook for five minutes at 350°F / 180°C. Flip the rolls over and cook for a further five minutes or until crisp and golden. Gently transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly while you air fry the rest of the rolls.
If you would rather bake these in the oven then preheat to 350°F / 180°C and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy.
To make the hot honey add the honey, chili flakes and thyme to a saucepan and heat gently for a few minutes, stirring to combine. You want the chili to infuse the honey with a hint of spice. Keep warm until ready to serve.
To serve, drizzle the warm rolls with the spicy honey and serve immediately.
