ingredients

¹⁄₄ cup butter, melted
6 sheets phyllo dough, thawed (14x9 inch sheets, if sheets are larger, stack and cut to size)

²⁄₃ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups strawberries, halved (or quartered depending on size)

Heat oven to 350. Brush bottom and sides of 11x7 inch glass baking dish with butter. Cut piece of parchment paper to fit in bottom and up 2 ends of baking dish. Place in dish; brush generously with butter.
Center 1 phyllo sheet in baking dish, forming about 1-inch border up sides of dish, turning over as necessary at ends; brush with butter. Repeat with remaining 5 phyllo sheets.

Cover with strawberries; brush with jelly to glaze. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Pretty good. I didn't add the glaze, I thought it was sweet enough without it. I should have put a little more butter on the Phyllo, but this was the first time I had used it. All in all a good recipe that is easy and quick to make. Thanks!
