Description
Delicious and modern take on traditional börek rolls filled with spinach, feta, and a sweet honey drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (1 lb) phyllo dough, thawed
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, green onions, dill, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush with butter again. Repeat this process until you have 4 layers.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the spinach and cheese mixture along one edge of the phyllo dough. Roll the dough tightly around the filling to form a log shape. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo dough and filling, placing each roll on the baking sheet with some space between them.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with any remaining melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the rolls are baking, warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat until it is runny.
- Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle the warm honey over the top before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Substitute the spinach with other greens like kale or Swiss chard for a different flavor profile.
