Notes
Storage: After baking, allow the feta rolls to cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the unbaked rolls; wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat the feta rolls, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy. Avoid using a microwave, as it may make the phyllo dough soggy.
Serving: Serve the oven-fried feta rolls warm, drizzled with chili honey for an added kick. They make a delicious appetizer or snack and pair well with a fresh salad or as part of a Mediterranean platter.
Chef’s Tip: For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of lemon zest or crushed garlic to the feta mixture. Additionally, experiment with different fresh herbs or spices to customize the filling to your taste.
