Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium. Add minced onion and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add spinach and stir constantly until wilted and any moisture evaporates, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Fold feta and fresh dill into the spinach mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let cool 2 minutes.
Step 4
Lay one phyllo sheet on a cutting board. Brush lightly with melted butter. Spoon 2 tbsp spinach mixture along one short edge.
Step 5
Roll the phyllo tightly around the filling into a log. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling to make 6 boreks.
Step 6
Heat remaining 3 tbsp butter in the same skillet over medium-high. Fry boreks 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Serve immediately.
