Cheesy phyllo rolls

Introduction:

These cheesy phyllo rolls are a delightful blend of crispy, flaky pastry and creamy, savory cheese filling. Perfect as a party appetizer or a snack, they combine the richness of feta cheese with the buttery texture of phyllo dough, topped with a drizzle of honey and sesame seeds for an irresistible sweet-savory twist.

Ingredients:

• 1 pack of phyllo dough (thawed if frozen)
• 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
• 1 cup ricotta cheese or cream cheese
• 1 egg (lightly beaten)
• 1/4 cup butter (melted)
• Honey (for drizzling)
• Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Optional: Red pepper flakes (for heat)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cheese Filling:
   In a bowl, mix the crumbled feta cheese, ricotta (or cream cheese), and beaten egg until well combined.
2. Assemble the Rolls:
   • Take a sheet of phyllo dough and lightly brush it with melted butter.
   • Fold it in half to create a sturdier base. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese filling at the shorter edge of the phyllo.
   • Roll it up tightly like a cigar or spring roll, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.
3. Bake:
   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the rolls seam-side down on a lined baking tray. Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
4. Add the Toppings:
   Once baked, drizzle the rolls with honey and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
5. Serve:
   Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.

Conclusion:

These cheesy phyllo rolls are a perfect combination of crispy and creamy textures, enhanced by the sweetness of honey and nutty sesame seeds. Easy to prepare and universally loved, they are ideal for gatherings or a quick indulgence. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for the best flavor and crunch!
