Step 1
Mix feta, dill, scallions, and the egg in a bowl. Season with black pepper.
Step 2
Lay 2 phyllo sheets on a work surface, overlapping slightly into a rough 8x10 rectangle.
Step 3
Spread one-third of the filling across the phyllo, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold long sides inward, then roll tightly from one end. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling to make 3 rolls.
Step 4
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Place burek rolls seam-side down in the skillet. Fry 3-4 minutes per side until deep golden and crispy, turning once.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve hot, optionally with yogurt or hot sauce on the side.
