I remember the first time my sister Jennifer helped me prepare these rolls. We laughed and messily brushed butter on the phyllo pastry, but the delicious results made all the chaos worthwhile!

You can lighten these rolls by using low-fat feta cheese and olive oil instead of butter. Another option is to include spinach or herbs in the filling for an extra boost of flavor and nutrition. Feel free to play around with these delicious variations!
Serving Suggestions From My Table
Serve the Oven Fried Feta Rolls with a side of fresh salad or some homemade tzatziki for dipping. They pair wonderfully with a crisp white wine or sparkling water if you prefer something refreshing.
Getting It Just Right
Make sure not to skip on brushing the phyllo pastry with butter. This helps the rolls turn golden and crispy. If they start to brown too quickly, just cover them with aluminum foil until they are done baking.
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop them back into the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
