Feta cheese: The salty, creamy base that holds everything together.
Cream cheese: Softens the feta and adds melty richness.
Garlic powder + black pepper: Simple seasoning to boost the cheese blend.
Butter or olive oil: Brushed on filo for that perfect golden bake.
Honey: Base for the drizzle, sweet, sticky, perfect.
Chili flakes or hot sauce: Bring the heat! Adjust to your spice level.
How to Make Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
Mash feta, cream cheese, garlic powder, and pepper in a bowl until smooth-ish.
Cut filo sheets into thirds (lengthwise). Keep covered with a damp towel.
Place a spoonful of filling at the end of one strip. Roll up like a spring roll, tucking in sides.
Brush all sides with melted butter or oil. Place seam-side down on pan.
Bake for 18–20 minutes until deep golden brown and crisp.
Meanwhile, warm honey and chili flakes or hot sauce in a small pan. Let it simmer 1 minute.
Drizzle chili honey over the rolls while hot. Serve immediately or at room temp.
