# How to make it:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

# Expert tips:

01 -
  • These come together in under 40 minutes but look like you spent hours preparing something special
  • The combination of salty feta and sweet spicy honey hits every craving at once
02 -
  • Filo pastry dries out incredibly fast, so keep the sheets you aren't using covered with a slightly damp towel
  • The rolls are best served immediately because they lose their signature crispness as they sit
03 -
  • Sesame seeds sprinkled on top before baking add a wonderful nutty crunch and make them look even more impressive
  • If you're serving these at a party, keep them warm in a 150°F oven and drizzle with honey just before serving
