Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 tablespoons chili flakes (adjust to taste)
Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400°F (200°C) for optimal pastry cooking.
- Dust a clean work surface with flour and gently roll the puff pastry into a thin, uniform sheet approximately 1/8 inch thick.
- Create a flavorful mixture by combining crumbled feta, spicy chili flakes, and sweet honey in a mixing bowl, ensuring ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Slice the pastry sheet into precise 4-inch squares, providing an ideal base for the filling.
- Carefully place a generous spoonful of the feta-chili-honey blend at the center of each pastry square.
- Transform the squares into elegant rolls or compact triangles, using gentle pinching techniques to seal the delicate edges securely.
- Lightly coat each pastry with a thin layer of olive oil, promoting a golden, crisp exterior.
- Position the prepared rolls on a baking sheet and slide into the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, watching for a rich, amber-brown coloration that signals perfect crispness.
- Remove from oven and allow a brief cooling period to set the pastry’s structure.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, aromatic finish.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is chilled but pliable for easier rolling and shaping without tearing.
- Crumble the feta finely to create a smooth, even filling that distributes flavor consistently in each bite.
- Adjust chili flakes based on heat preference, starting with less and tasting the mixture before filling pastry.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute puff pastry with gluten-free phyllo or almond flour-based pastry alternatives.
