Preparing the Phyllo Pastry

2. Cut each sheet of phyllo into 4 equal strips.
3. Brush each strip of phyllo with olive oil.
4. Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling at the bottom of the strip.
5. Fold the bottom edge of the strip over the filling, then fold the left and right sides over, creating a triangular shape.
6. Continue folding until you reach the top of the strip.
