Add four more sheets, one at a time, brushing each with butter. Spread half the filling over the phyllo stack, spreading to within 3 inches of long sides and 1 1/2 inches of short sides. Fold short sides of phyllo over the filling. Fold one long side of phyllo over filling, then roll up. Repeat to make second roll.
- Place phyllo rolls, seams down, on a large baking sheet. Brush with remaining melted butter; sprinkle with nutmeg. Score the tops, making cuts 1 inch apart and 1/4 inch deep.
- Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 15 minutes, slice on the scored lines.

I'm a happily married mother of two and I own a jewelry and accessory business. My husband and I were vegan for six years, we now eat poultry and fish. My husband is a personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder, so it's very important that we eat healthy... too bad I have such a sweet-tooth!
