  • With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).

  • Layer 2 sheets of phyllo dough, brushed with melted butter in between. Cut into four strips lengthwise. Repeat with the other two sheets.
  • Place 60 ml (1/4 cup) of filling at one end of each strip. Fold the dough into a small triangle. Fold the triangle over itself several times to form a small turnover.
  • Place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with melted butter.
