Honey and cheese are a classic combination that has been enjoyed for centuries. This recipe takes that combination and turns it into a delicious pastry that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack. The filo pastry gives a light and crispy texture that balances the creaminess of the cheese and the sweetness of the honey. Whether enjoyed warm or at room temperature, these honey and cheese rolls are sure to be a new favorite in your recipe collection.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2.In a large bowl, mix together the feta cheese, egg yolk, and anthotiro or ricotta cheese until well combined. Add cinnamon to taste.
3.Take one sheet of filo pastry and brush with melted butter. Fold the pastry in half and brush the top with more butter. Repeat until you have a stack of six layers.
4.Spoon the cheese mixture onto the pastry near the bottom, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Drizzle with honey.
5.Roll the pastry up to create a long log. Cut the log into 1-inch pieces and place on a lined baking sheet. Brush with more butter.
6.Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
7.Serve warm or at room temperature, drizzled with more honey and sprinkled with grated nuts.
