3. To assemble: lay out 2 sheets of phyllo onto a buttered baking sheet, or use parchment paper lol I ran out. Brush phyllo with melted butter, then add another 1-2 sheets and repeat.

Step 4

4. At top of phyllo sheet, start to add filling. Leave an inch or 2 of empty space on either side of the phyllo. Then spread filling evenly into a log shape. Fold the left and right tab of phyllo over the filling and roll the spanakopita towards yourself, into a log. Then brush evenly with melted butter.
