  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g good quality crumbly feta cheese
  • 6 sheets of phyllo or puff pastry dough
  • 1/2 cup fresh cranberries or cranberry preserves
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil (for brushing)

Optional Herbs and Spices

  • Pinch of thyme, rosemary, or cinnamon
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for nutty twist)
  • Fresh dill or mint (optional for herb infusion)
  • Chili flakes (optional for spicy kick)
  • Plant-based cheese and agave syrup as vegan alternatives

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl. Add finely chopped fresh herbs or a pinch of spices if desired, and gently stir to combine.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Lay the phyllo or puff pastry sheets onto a clean, flat surface. Brush each sheet evenly with melted butter or olive oil to ensure a crisp and golden finish when baked.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Place a spoonful of the feta filling at the edge of each dough sheet. Carefully roll the dough over the filling, folding in the sides as you go to seal the cheese securely inside.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Arrange the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes or until the pastry turns golden brown and crispy.
  5. Drizzle with Sweet Cranberry Honey: While the rolls are still warm, drizzle generously with homemade or store-bought cranberry honey, allowing the sweet glaze to soak into the flaky crust.

Notes

  • Use cold, chilled butter to brush the dough for the best flaky crust.
  • Do not overfill the rolls with feta to prevent bursting during baking.
  • When using phyllo, apply even layers of butter for consistent browning and texture.
  • Add the cranberry honey drizzle after baking to keep the honey fresh and allow it to soak in slightly.
  • To make cranberry honey at home, gently simmer fresh cranberries with honey and a splash of water, then strain for a smooth glaze.
