Feta Fillo Honey Bites: A Crispy and Sweet-Savory Delight

Feta Fillo Honey Bites are a delectable combination of creamy feta cheese wrapped in crispy fillo pastry, enhanced with a hint of spice from chili flakes and a touch of sweetness from honey. These golden, crunchy bites are perfect as appetizers or snacks, offering a harmonious blend of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

  • 320g feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 250g melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons chili flakes
  • 375g Antoniou Fillo Dough

For Topping

  • Black sesame seeds
  • Honey

Instructions

  1. Take the Fillo Dough out of the fridge and leave it in its packaging until it warms to room temperature.
  2. Preheat your fan-forced oven to 180°C.
  3. Use melted butter to coat a pair of 12-hole muffin trays and one 6-hole tray.
  4. Slice the feta into strips that are about 1 to 1.5 cm wide.
  5. Lay out the Fillo Dough on your surface. Cut the pile in half lengthwise to create two stacks. Spread melted butter over the top sheet of each stack. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chili flakes on them. Place the feta pieces near the edge of each stack, leaving a 1.5 cm space. Roll them up tightly into long logs by folding the bottom edge over the cheese first.
  6. Cut the logs into 15 pieces each using a knife. Place each piece into a prepared hole in the muffin trays.
  7. Drip one tablespoon of melted butter onto every piece to coat the pastry rolls.
  8. Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them sit for five minutes before carefully moving them to a plate.
  9. Before serving, pour honey on top and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
