Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place a sheet of phyllo dough on a baking tray and brush it lightly with olive oil.

Layer another sheet of phyllo on top and brush with more olive oil.

Repeat until you have 4-5 layers of phyllo dough.

Place the feta cheese in the center of the phyllo layers.

Drizzle honey over the feta and sprinkle with black pepper and sea salt.

Add fresh thyme and lemon zest on top of the feta.

Fold the edges of the phyllo over the feta to create a parcel.

Brush the top of the phyllo with olive oil to ensure a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve warm, drizzled with additional honey if desired.
