Marissa's MediterraneanCrispy, golden phyllo pastry wrapped around salty feta cheese and finished with a generous drizzle of honey and toasted sesame seeds. The ultimate sweet-and-salty Mediterranean bite!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and lightly brush with olive oil. Fold it in half lengthwise, then brush again.
Keep the remaining phyllo covered with a damp cloth so it doesn't dry out!
Place a block of feta at the bottom of the phyllo strip. Fold the sides in and roll it up tightly like a small burrito. Repeat with the remaining cheese and dough.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the tops generously with the remaining olive oil.
Bake in the center of the oven until the pastry is deeply golden and shatteringly crisp.
Keep an eye on them; phyllo goes from golden to burnt quickly!
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with honey while still hot. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and fresh oregano before serving.
These are a total crowd-pleaser! For the best flavor, try to find a high-quality, creamy feta. If you want a little extra kick, a pinch of red pepper flakes in the honey works wonders. Make sure to serve them immediately while the cheese is warm and the phyllo is at its peak crunch.
