Description
Crispy, creamy oven fried feta rolls drizzled with a sweet and spicy chili honey glaze, perfect for easy and impressive appetizers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 8 ounces (225g) block feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup (60ml) honey
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or oregano, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Thaw puff pastry sheets according to package instructions. Lay one sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 equal squares (about 3×3 inches). Repeat with second sheet. Keep covered with a kitchen towel.
- In a mixing bowl, crumble feta cheese and mix with chopped thyme or oregano if using.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place about 1 tablespoon of feta filling in the center of each puff pastry square. Brush edges with beaten egg and fold into a triangle or rectangle, pressing edges to seal. Crimp edges with a fork if desired.
- Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet with space between them.
- Brush tops with beaten egg and optionally brush sides with olive oil for extra crispness.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown, watching closely after 12 minutes.
- While baking, warm honey and chili flakes in a small saucepan over low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
- Remove rolls from oven and transfer to a wire rack or serving plate. Drizzle with warm chili honey before serving.
Notes
Do not overfill the pastry to prevent bursting. Chill assembled rolls for 10 minutes before baking for better shape. Adjust chili flakes to taste. Use quality honey for best flavor. Reheat leftovers in oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispiness. Can freeze assembled rolls before baking.
