Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Warm honey with orange blossom water in a small saucepan over low heat. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Lay one sheet of phyllo on a clean surface. Brush lightly with melted butter.

  3. Step 3

    Sprinkle 25g shredded cheese across the short end. Roll tightly away from you, tucking sides as you go. Repeat with remaining phyllo and cheese.

  4. Step 4

    Heat remaining butter in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Place rolls seam-side down in batches.

  5. Step 5

    Fry 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a serving plate.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle warm honey syrup generously over hot rolls. Scatter pistachios on top and serve immediately.
