Crispy feta rolls…what could be better? Crispy feta rolls dipped in a Cheerwine spicy honey sauce, that’s what.

I’ve been obsessed with Sigara Borek/Boregi since I tried it at a fantastic local restaurant in Cary called Bosphorus. A traditional Turkish dish, Sigara Boregi is a crispy appetizer made of fried phyllo dough and a cheese filling.

After seeing one of my favorite local recipe bloggers, A Bright Moment, post her take on delicious feta rolls, my mama and I knew we had to put a southern Cheerwine spin on them! This recipe follows hers closely with just a few changes, namely the Cheerwine syrup.

Step One: Prepare The Filling

Add all of the filling ingredients to a bowl and mix. This filling is delicious enough to eat on its own, but hang in there and wait for the finished product–it’s worth it.

Roll It Up

Phyllo dough can be intimidating, but we have a couple of tips to make it easier for you:

  • Thaw out the dough.
  • Cover any pieces not currently used with a damp towel to keep them from drying out.

Place one sheet on the other and brush with oil before cutting. There are multiple ways to cut the dough, but our favorite is to cut it in half and roll it like a burrito.

Pop them in the oven–yep, no frying required!

The Cheerwine Spicy Honey Sauce

Feta and spicy honey is a match made in heaven. Add in the Cheerwine, and you’ve got a real treat!

It’s effortless to make the sauce. You combine all ingredients in a saucepan and let it simmer to thicken.
