# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta, spinach, fresh herbs, black pepper, and salt. Stir until evenly blended.
03 -
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and lightly mist with olive oil spray. Layer one or two additional sheets on top, spraying lightly with olive oil between each layer.
04 -
Place a portion of the feta mixture along one short edge of the prepared phyllo sheets, forming a short strip.
05 -
Carefully roll the dough over the filling, forming a tight log. Brush the edges with beaten egg to seal, and tuck in the ends.
06 -
Continue filling, rolling, and sealing with remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
07 -
Arrange each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil and sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over each roll.
08 -
Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the phyllo rolls are crisp and golden brown.
09 -
In a small saucepan set over low heat, combine the honey, chili flakes, and lemon juice. Stir gently until warmed through and well blended.
10 -
Arrange the baked feta rolls on a platter and drizzle generously with the warm chili honey. Serve immediately while hot.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Keep phyllo sheets covered with a damp towel as you work to prevent drying and tearing.
