Directions

Preheat oven to 200°C (about 400°F). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut feta cheese into small cubes or rectangles. I like to make sure pieces are evenly sized for consistent baking.
Roll out puff pastry on a flat surface. Cut it into squares large enough to wrap around feta cheese pieces.
Place cube of feta cheese in center of each pastry square. Sprinkle a little dried oregano, salt, and pepper over feta.
Roll up pastry around feta, sealing edges to make sure it’s well-wrapped.
Place rolls on prepared baking sheet and lightly brush each with olive oil. I find that brushing rolls gives them that beautiful golden color once they’re baked.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until rolls are golden and crispy. I like to keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t over-bake.
Remove from oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for an extra touch of flavor and color.
