1. 1

   For the filling, mix the mashed feta with the egg and chopped mint or dill.

4. 4

   Brush the top strip lightly with melted butter.

5. 5

   Take a tablespoon of filling.

6. 6

   Place it at one short end of the strip in a thin sausage shape along the edge, about 3/4 inch from it and 3/4 inch from the side edges.

7. 7

   Roll up the fillo with the filling inside, like a cigar.

8. 8

   Fold in the ends about one-third of the way along to trap the filling, and then continue to roll.

   Do the same with the remaining strips of fillo and cheese filling.
