Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix cottage cheese, sugar, lemon zest, cinnamon, and raisins in a bowl until combined.
Step 2
Lay a phyllo sheet on a clean surface. Brush lightly with melted butter. Repeat with 3 more sheets, brushing each.
Step 3
Spread half the cottage cheese mixture along one short edge of the phyllo stack, leaving a 1-inch border.
Step 4
Roll tightly into a log, tucking in the sides as you go. Transfer seam-side down to a parchment-lined sheet pan.
Step 5
Repeat steps 2–4 with remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make a second roll.
Step 6
Brush both rolls with remaining butter. Bake 18–20 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Cool 2 minutes, then slice and serve.
