Ingredients
- 2 blocks of quality feta cheese (3 oz each)
- 2 sheets of phyllo dough, thawed
- 1/4 cup honey, warmed for drizzling
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- Extra virgin olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center.
- Lay each phyllo sheet flat on a clean surface. Brush the surface with olive oil.
- Place one block of feta near the bottom short end of a phyllo sheet. Fold sides over the cheese and roll up, brushing with more olive oil as needed. Repeat with second block.
- Place wrapped feta blocks seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush tops with more olive oil.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip carefully and bake 5 more minutes if needed to brown both sides.
- Remove from oven and transfer to serving plate. Drizzle generously with warmed honey, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and thyme.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Use high-quality feta for best texture and flavor.
- Phyllo can dry out quickly; keep covered with a damp towel if working slowly.
- Try adding crushed pistachios or chili flakes for a twist.
- Pairs well with fresh fruit or a crisp salad.
