3. Lay one phyllo sheet flat, brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil. Repeat to layer 3 sheets total.
4. Place a spoonful of feta near the edge and roll up like a cigar. Repeat with remaining filling and phyllo.
5. Place rolls on the tray, brush tops with butter/oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chili flakes.

Notes
Keep phyllo sheets covered with a damp towel while working to prevent drying.
Rolls are best served warm, drizzled with honey just before serving for optimal crispness.
