# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine feta cheese, cream cheese, parsley, dill, lemon zest, and black pepper. Mix until fairly smooth with some small feta chunks remaining.
03 - Place one sheet of filo pastry on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Top with a second sheet and brush again; repeat until you have a stack of three sheets. Cut the stack in half lengthwise to make two long strips.
04 - Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture near one end of each strip. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll up tightly like a spring roll.
05 - Repeat with remaining filo and filling to make 12 rolls in total. Place rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush tops with olive oil.
06 - Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
07 - Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and chili flakes. Warm gently for 2-3 minutes, then stir in lemon juice. Remove from heat.
08 - Drizzle the warm chili honey over the baked feta rolls and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The contrast between crispy filo and creamy feta is absolutely addictive
  • They come together in under 40 minutes but taste like you spent all afternoon making them
02 -
  • Filo pastry dries out terrifyingly fast, cover unused sheets with a damp kitchen towel at all times
  • The honey drizzle makes the filo soften quickly, so add it right before serving
03 -
  • Brush the filo thoroughly, every exposed surface needs oil or it will stay papery instead of turning crisp
  • Let the baked rolls cool for just 2 minutes before drizzling so the honey creates a delicate glaze instead of soaking in
