This is a 5-star recipe with 1-star instructions, so I guess that averages out to 3-stars. I used 2 bunches of fresh spinach (not specified in recipe, and used the following method to form and cook them. To form, cut phyllo sheets lengthwise into thirds. Cover with most with plastic wrap, and a dampened towel. Remove 1 strip of phyllo, fold in half lengthwise, and brush lightly with melted butter. Place 1 scant tablespoonful of filling near the end. Fold over in a triangle, and continue folding like a flag, keeping triangular shape. Lightly butter top, and transfer to a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Repeat until you run out of pastry or filling. Bake in a 425OF oven until golden brown.
