# Instructions:
01 -
Alright, here we go! The first step is cutting the feta into rectangles. I always use a serrated knife because, trust me, it just makes life easier. I once tried a regular knife, and let’s just say it ended up in crumbles! You want them to be about an inch thick—just enough to hold up.

Now, take a sheet of phyllo dough, and oops, it’s often a little temperamental. If it tears, just layer another piece on top; no biggie! Brush it lightly with melted butter (don’t forget this part!), then place the feta down and fold it up like a little package. I like to think of it as a cozy blanket for the cheese.

Next, roll those feta bundles in the egg wash and then in the panko breadcrumbs. Honestly, I’ve had panko explosions all over my kitchen before; it can get messy! Just try not to panic; it’ll all get cleaned up. You want them well-coated for that crackling sensation when you bite into them!

Time to bake! I preheat my oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay out the rolls, brush them with a bit of butter on top, and pop them in. Let them bake for about 20 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy! The smell is heavenly!
05 -
While they bake, let’s make the chili honey. Just warm up some honey in a small saucepan and add a pinch of chili flakes. Be careful here because too much heat can overwhelm it! I once made it fire-breathing hot, and my friends were not impressed! Just until it’s combined and warm.

Once those rolls are out and sizzling, drizzle that chili honey over the top. You should see them glisten! Serve them warm with fresh herbs sprinkled on for color and flavor. They should smell divine, and trust me, they won’t last long on the table!
# Notes:
01 -
Always use a serrated knife for cutting feta; it makes a world of difference. Don’t crowd the baking sheet; give them space to get crispy. Let them cool for a bit before serving; they’ll be super hot inside!
