Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400° Fahrenheit.
Prepare the feta: Cut the feta block into 8 equal-sized rectangles.
Prepare the phyllo: Take 3 sheets of phyllo dough and cut them into thirds lengthwise, making strips about the width of the feta pieces. Keep the remaining phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
Assemble the rolls: Place one strip of phyllo on your work surface and brush a thin layer of olive oil over it. Then place a piece of feta towards the bottom of the strip. Tuck in the sides of the phyllo and roll the feta up tightly, like a little burrito. Repeat with the remaining feta and phyllo strips.
Bake: Arrange the phyllo rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Finishing touches: Let the phyllo rolls cool slightly, then drizzle with honey and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Serve with extra honey mixed with a pinch of Aleppo pepper on the side for a touch of heat.
