Description
Crispy fried feta rolls that are salty and tangy, perfect as appetizers or snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200g feta cheese
- 1 cup phyllo dough
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
- Herbs (like dill or oregano, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a frying pan with 3–4 mm of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Keep phyllo covered with a damp towel. Beat the egg in a bowl and pat the feta dry, cutting it into narrow strips.
- Lay a sheet of phyllo, brush with olive oil or egg, place a strip of feta, and add salt, pepper, and herbs. Roll tightly to form a neat roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Carefully place rolls seam-side down in hot oil, frying in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Adjust heat as needed.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, let rest for a couple of minutes, and serve warm.
Notes
Serve with tzatziki or lemon yogurt dip. Keep phyllo covered to prevent drying out.
