Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, ~1 minute.
Step 2
Add spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully wilted, ~2 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer spinach to a colander, squeeze out excess moisture with hands, then chop finely.
Step 4
Mix spinach with crumbled feta, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
Lay one phyllo sheet on a clean work surface. Brush lightly with olive oil.
Step 7
Place 2 tbsp spinach-feta filling 1 inch from the bottom edge of the phyllo.
Step 8
Roll tightly into a thin cylinder, tucking edges in as you roll, like a cigar.
Step 9
Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.
Step 10
Brush all rolls with remaining olive oil. Bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
Step 11
Remove from oven. Let cool 2 minutes. Serve hot with yogurt and fresh herbs.
