Olive oil is heart-healthy and offers a rich flavor.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, mix feta cheese, ricotta cheese, eggs, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with olive oil.

Place another sheet on top and brush again with olive oil.

Spoon a portion of the cheese mixture along one edge of the phyllo.

Fold the phyllo over the filling to create a roll, then twist into a spiral shape.

Repeat with remaining phyllo and cheese mixture to form additional spirals.

Place the spirals on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops with melted butter or olive oil for a golden finish.

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

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
