  2. Arrange 1 sheet of phyllo on a clean work surface and brush lightly with some of the melted butter. Top with 2 more phyllo sheets and more butter. Cover remaining phyllo with a damp towel while you work. Cut phyllo stack lengthwise into 3 (3-inch-wide) strips.

  3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon filling at the bottom of each strip. Take the bottom right corner and fold the dough over the filling to make a triangle. Fold the bottom left corner up to make another triangle. Continue folding until all the dough is folded. Arrange spanakopita, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush with butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo, filling, and butter.
