Let’s Make it together

In a bowl, mix crumbled feta cheese with chili honey until well combined. You can adjust the amount of chili honey based on how much kick you want!
Place a spoonful of the mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold over the corners toward the center to create little pockets of deliciousness.
Brush each roll gently with egg wash for that perfect golden finish while baking. Place them on your prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until they puff up beautifully and turn golden brown. Enjoy their delightful aroma filling your kitchen!
