Greek flavors in a different kind of dessert using feta cheese paired with honey. The lemon gives a delicious hint of refreshing citrus touch.

  • 2 lemons, zest only
  • Fresh thyme
  • 4 filo pastry sheets
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Honey, preferably the dark kind

  3. Sprinkle with the zest of half lemon and some thyme (leave some for garnishing).
  4. Roll the feta and tuck in the sides. You should have a little parcel. Do the same with the other feta.
