The fig and feta rolls are delicious phyllo pastry bundles filled with a soft and creamy mixture of phyllo pastry with figs, feta cheese, and honey. I adore feta and really like figs; we’ve been picking lots of them in the countryside, so I wanted to combine these ingredients to make delightful sweet/savory rolls that were quickly devoured. To avoid turning on the oven in this heat, I cooked them in a pan (but of course, you can also bake them or use an air fryer), just a few minutes, and these delicious fig and feta rolls are ready, perfect as an appetizer, main course, or dessert!

Steps
The fig and feta rolls are very simple and quick to prepare. First, cut the feta in half, then into 6 parts, thus obtaining 12 pieces.
Clean the figs and slice them about a quarter-inch thick. Take a sheet of phyllo pastry and fold it in half lengthwise. On one side, place a fig slice, a piece of feta, a little honey, and another fig slice.
Fold the sides and form a roll, proceed this way to make all the fig and feta rolls, then brush them evenly with a little extra virgin olive oil.
Place the fig and feta rolls in a preheated non-stick pan and cook them for 3/4 minutes on each side, on all sides, and also on the closure side, to ensure evenness and crispiness.
Tips:
The fig and feta rolls can be stored at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge for a couple of days. Obviously, in the fridge, they will lose some crispiness, but a quick reheat (in the oven, pan, or air fryer) will bring it back. You can also bake the bundles in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20/25 minutes or in an air fryer at 350°F for 15/20 minutes.
