Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Unroll the phyllo dough and carefully cut each sheet in half crosswise. Keep the phyllo sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.

    ~5 min

    Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

    ~3 min

    In a separate small saucepan, gently warm the honey with the red pepper flakes and cinnamon. Stir until well combined. Remove from heat.

    ~5 min
  5. 5

    Take one half-sheet of phyllo, brush lightly with melted butter. Fold it in half to create a long rectangle. Place a small spoonful of crumbled feta cheese on one end. Fold the phyllo to create a triangular shape, tucking in the sides as you go, similar to folding a flag. Repeat with remaining phyllo and feta.

    ~10 min
  6. 6

Tips

  • Work quickly with the phyllo dough and keep it covered to prevent it from becoming brittle and breaking.
  • These bites are best served warm, allowing the honey to drizzle beautifully over the crispy phyllo and warm feta.
