Preheat the oven to 375°F (190 °C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil. Slice the leeks and spring onions, crumble the feta cheese, and beat two eggs in a small bowl.
Add the leeks and spring onions to the hot olive oil, season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they are fragrant and tender. Ensure they don't pick up any color.
Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the feta, eggs, dill, olive oil, and liquids from the pan, along with plenty of freshly ground pepper. Using a fork, gently press down and break the feta, then mix everything well.
Add the leeks to the cheese mixture. Gently mix everything well together.
Lay a pastry sheet flat on a clean, floured surface. Gently roll one sheet out to stretch slightly.
Cut the sheet into six long strips along the longer side and make one cut in the middle on the shorter side.
Place approximately one tablespoon of the cheese filling on one side of the rectangles, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges.
Lift the side without filling and flip it over to cover the filling. Press the two edges together with your fingers to connect them, and use a fork to seal the edges.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
