Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced onion, cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 2
Add spinach, dill, and nutmeg. Stir continuously for 2–3 minutes until spinach wilts and any liquid evaporates.
Step 3
Remove pan from heat. Stir in crumbled feta and let cool 2 minutes, then divide filling into 4 portions.
Step 4
Layer 2 phyllo sheets, brush lightly with olive oil between them. Spread 1 portion filling on one short edge.
Step 5
Roll tightly into a log, tucking sides in as you go. Repeat with remaining phyllo, oil, and filling for 4 börek.
Step 6
Wipe skillet clean. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Pan-fry börek 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden.
