Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix grated cheese, half the sour cream, dill, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl.
Step 2
Lay a phyllo sheet on a work surface. Brush lightly with melted butter, then spread 2–3 tbsp filling across one edge.
Step 3
Roll tightly from the filled edge, tucking in the sides. Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
Step 4
Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and filling. You'll have 8 rolls on the pan.
Step 5
Brush each roll with remaining butter and sprinkle poppy seeds over the top. Bake 12–14 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6
Serve warm with the reserved sour cream on the side for dipping.
