Ingredients
Hot Honey
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1-2 jalapeños, sliced
- sea salt
Cheese Sticks
- 16-20 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced pepperoni
- 12 thin slices mozzarella cheese
- 6 thin slices provolone cheese, halved
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, grated
Instructions
- 1. To make the honey. In a small pot, combine the honey and jalapeños. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. Season with salt.2. To make the sticks. Preheat the oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.3. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough flat on the counter and gently fold it in half crosswise. Brush the phyllo with melted butter. On the short end of the dough, layer 1 pepperoni slice, 1 mozzarella slice, and 1/2 a slice of provolone. Add 1-2 honey soaked jalapeños. Roll the phyllo up over the filling, folding the side edges in to seal, burrito style. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and repeat to make 12-16 rolls.4. Brush the top of each phyllo roll with butter. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top. The cheese may melt out a bit, but that's ok. Mix the parmesan and garlic and sprinkle the baked sticks with the mix. 5. Serve the sticks warm, drizzled or dipped in hot honey.
Notes
Working with Phyllo Dough: it’s important to keep the dough covered with a damp towel while you assemble. When phyllo dough gets dried out, it cracks and is difficult to work with.
