Step 1
Mix feta, diced onion, parsley, dill, and black pepper in a bowl until combined.
Step 2
Lay one phyllo sheet on a work surface. Cover remaining sheets with a damp towel.
Step 3
Spoon 2 tbsp filling along the bottom edge of the phyllo sheet, leaving 1 inch from edges.
Step 4
Fold the left and right edges inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top into a cigar shape.
Step 5
Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make 8 rolls total.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, ~2 minutes.
Step 7
Working in batches, fry rolls seam-side down 2–3 minutes until golden, then flip and fry 90 seconds more.
Step 8
Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate. Serve warm with lemon wedges if desired.
