Instructions

  1. Thaw one roll of fillo, following thawing instructions on package.
  2. Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
  3. Unroll and cover the sheets with a damp towel or plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

Then fold short edge over and roll to the end of the strip.
  6. Repeat to make 12 fillo sticks.
  7. Reroll unused sheets and follow storing instructions on package. Place on a baking tray seam side down. Lightly spray the outside. Sprinkle with bread crumb mixture. Bake for 7 minutes, or until fillo is golden brown.
  8. Serve warm.
