Our household is particularly fond of feta and phyllo dough, and we enjoy experimenting with various recipes. One standout dish that we highly recommend is the Easy Crispy Feta Rolls.

They are a perfect addition to any gathering, whether a casual get-together or a formal dinner party. You can also get creative and try different fillings.

I will share with you a step-by-step guide to create this mouthwatering recipe that is sure to impress your guests. So, the next time you are searching for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, give these feta rolls a try, and watch them disappear in no time.

Additionally, do not skip the honey. Although I was initially skeptical, I have come to appreciate its sweetness and balance, which helps to counteract the saltiness of the feta. It is a delightful addition to the recipe!

My family enjoys watching sporting events on television, especially basketball or football, so I usually have to make extra.

I also wanted to show you that you could make them with or without sesame seeds. Sesame seeds’ nutty flavor goes great with salty feta, crunchy dough, and honey. It all just meshes so perfectly!

In the end, the decision regarding using sesame seeds will be yours, although I strongly advise it.

DELICIOUS, and super recipe for Easy Crispy Feta Rolls

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 20 sheets of Store-bought phyllo dough; 1/2 pack
• 10 oz (300g) Block of Feta Cheese (or crumbled)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1/4 cup neutral oil, oil for frying; I used organic canola oil

Instructions

1. Pat dry feta cheese using a paper towel or a cotton kitchen towel. Slice a block of feta cheese. Use a sharp knife to slice feta into strips that are about 2 inches by ½ inch in size. So, if the cheese still looks a bit wet, just lightly pat dry those feta strips. If you only have crumbled cheese, no problem, use a couple of tablespoons of crumbled feta.
   
2. Mix eggs, olive oil, and water very well.
   
3. For each roll, I used two sheets of phyllo dough so it doesn’t break and it has a nice bite and crunch.
4. Peel off two sheets of phyllo then light brush with egg mixture.
   
5. Place a strip of feta in the center, and at the bottom of the phyllo dough and roll twice, then tuck both sizes in brush with a bit more egg mixture, and finish rolling.
   
6. If you wish to use sesame seeds after you finish rolling all of them, lightly brush each roll with egg minute and carefully spine and dip sesame seeds all around.
7. Frying: Heat the oil in a skillet and carefully place each feta roll. Don’t overcrowd a skillet so cook 3 to 4 at a time on medium heat. Cook them until they are golden and crisp, 25-30 seconds on each side. *For air fryer, cook for 6 minutes, then turn them around and air fry for 6 more or until crispy. This depends on your air fryer.
   
8. Remove them with two forks or a slotted spoon. Set the fried feta on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture, and repeat until all of the rolls have been fried.

Serve with honey for the best taste.

Notes

If you do not have feta block, you may use crumbled feta cheese.

However, if you have a chance get feta from sheep's milk. I got mine in Costco called Tnuva Feta Sheep's Milk Cheese. I only use 10 of these about 3/4 of one block of cheese, so approximately 10 oz (300g)

Taco Biscuit Skillet Bites are not only tasty but super easy to make as well as a crowned pleaser.

After making my Biscuit and Mozzarella Skillet Bites, I wanted to create something similar, but with so much flavor and flare. My family went crazy over these yummy bites.

As we all know Taco Tuesdays and sporting gatherings parties are not going anywhere, so this will serve a greater purpose: serving these bites to your family and friends during these events.

Biscuit and Mozzarella Skillet Bites

Most of my recipes are adaptable, as you guys are aware if you’ve been following me for a while. Without the inclusion of alternative variations, I wouldn’t be who I am.

I’ve already featured biscuits with cheese, but the options for filling are genuinely unlimited. These biscuits can be filled with pretty much whatever you like.

I will just say a few of my favorite fillings, ham and cheese, Nutella, Italian sub, and let’s not forget cheesy meatball marinara.

If you are vegetarian, I am pretty sure pepper and mushroom fajita flavors would totally be perfect filling for these bites.

Given that my family is currently obsessed with the World Cup, I serve it quite often, however, I would serve this at any sporting house gatherings especially Super Bowl.

When you’re European, I think most of us feel that soccer is in our blood, so I would not miss this World Cup for nothing.

Anyhow, you can also bring this to any church events or potlucks, especially if there will be children present because both little ones and teens particularly enjoy these bites.

Chocolate Filled Donuts are Incredibly soft and fluffy, easy to make, and super delicious!

There is no better treat than donuts filled with a delicious and warm chocolate spread.

In my case, I could eat these with just a dust of sugar, but you can fill them any spread your heart desires. I choose to use chocolate spread, which is my family’s personal favorite.

When I was a little girl I enjoy donuts coated with granulated sugar. Sometimes I would open a few up and spread strawberry or plum jam in them. Oh, and my kids love them just like that too.

I guess some things are truly what people would say “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”?!

Anyways, these are super easy to prepare. I prep them either late at night or early in the morning, depending on when we want to eat them; for breakfast or as a snack.

I don’t make donuts quite often because nobody is able to resist these fluffy delicious treats.

Most importantly. the best tip that I can give you before you make them is patience. Furthermore, you must wait for them to double in size once you cut them into circles.

Don’t rush the process. However, if you want those holes in donuts check your oil temperature, pan, and the most important part flour. 

I would most definitely invest in a measuring cup with a scale. I have had mine for over 2 years and I just changed batteries one time. It is fantastic for liquids and dry food as well.

I hope you try these donuts and if you do, please let me know. Tag me @sandraseasycooking on other social media accounts if you make this recipe. Thanks for all your support!

Chocolate-Filled Donuts

Chocolate-Filled Donuts are such easy and delicious treats. Every once in a while it's so good to make your own.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Additional Time 8 hours

Total Time 8 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 package active dry yeast
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• ½ cup warm water ( about 100 degrees F)
• 4 cups all-purpose flour (approx. 480g)
• ½ cup warm milk or water (about 110 degrees F)
• 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut up and softened
• Cooking oil for deep-frying
• 1/2 cup sugar
• ¾ cup chocolate spread, room temperature

Equipment:

• Large pot for frying or a fryer
• Oil thermometer
• Measuring cups, spoons, and scale
• Decorating/Piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine yeast, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and 1/2 cup warm water. Let stand for 10 minutes to activate!
2. Combine flour, warm milk, egg and egg yolk, salt, activated yeast mixture, and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar — mix to combine. You can use a food processor or stand-up mixer. Add softened unsalted butter; process until smooth and combined. The dough will be softer.
3. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl; cover and chill in refrigerator overnight or approx 6-8 hours.
4. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to be around 1/2 inch thick. Using a 2-1/2-inch round cutter or a glass/mug, cut dough. Re-roll dough as is necessary. Place dough rounds on a baking sheet, dusted with flour. Cover and let rise about 20 minutes or until nearly double in size. Depending on your room temperature, this could take a while, so I suggest warming up your oven to allow the dough to double in size faster. I would say to preheat from 100F to 150F and turn it off. This will ensure that the dough will have a warmer area to rise.
5. Place chocolate spread in a decorating bag fitted with a large round tip; set aside.
6. Fry donuts, three to four at a time, in deep hot oil for about one minute on each side or until golden brown; you can flip it one time until the golden color is achieved. Make sure the frying oil is always between 365 F and 375°F.
7. Take donuts out by using a slotted spoon or two forks; drain on paper towels- Using an instant-read thermometer, the internal temp of donuts should be about 87 °F/31 °C.
8. Holding each doughnut, use a cylindrical rod aka dowel, chopstick, or similar to poke a hole in one side of the doughnut. Pipe any chocolate spread through the opening.
9. Dust with sugar and serve warm. 

Notes

You can use jam for filling or any other spread. It tastes amazing either way.
