5. To assemble: Place on sheet of filo on a clean, dry countertop.
Brush the top lightly with oil, then add another sheet. Brush with oil, then add another. Continue until you have a pile of five leaves. Add half the filling, fold in the sides, and gently roll until you have a nice neat little log. Brush the top with more oil, then carefully lift the pastry, and place it on the oiled baking sheet. Repeat this proceedure to make a second roll, and place it next to the first one on the tray.
6. Bake 25-30 mins, until golden and exquisitely crisp. Cut with a serrated knife, using a gentle sawing motion. Serve hot or at room temperature.
