Step 1
Combine feta, parsley, dill, onion, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix gently.
Step 2
Lay one phyllo sheet on a clean surface. Brush lightly with melted butter.
Step 3
Place 2 tbsp filling on the bottom third of the sheet, leaving 1 inch from edges.
Step 4
Fold in the left and right edges about 1 inch, then tightly roll the sheet away from you.
Step 5
Repeat with remaining sheets and filling to make 8 rolls.
Step 6
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Working in batches, pan-fry rolls seam-side down 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
