Oven-Baked Feta Rolls
The following recipe and photography was provided by Christina Musgrave of Tasting with Tina.
These Oven-Baked Feta Rolls will soon become your new favorite appetizer!
With a delicious feta and herb filling, flaky phyllo dough and a buttery honey dipping sauce, these bite-size rolls are the perfect balance of crispy and creamy! If you make them for a crowd, I recommend doubling the recipe because they’ll go quickly.
If you’ve never worked with phyllo dough before, be sure to thaw it in the refrigerator overnight prior to using and be patient when rolling because it tears easily. If it does tear, simply bind it back together with olive oil or double up and roll with two sheets of pastry.

What do you mean when you say to fold crosswise?
Hello Sandra! Folding “crosswise” means to fold the phyllo dough in half (left to right) like a book. This will create an extra layer told hold in the feta filling when you roll it up! Hope that helps!
