  7. Take filo sheets out and brush top sheet lightly with oil.

  8. Put about 3 heaping tablespoons of filling about 4 inches from short end and equidistant from the 2 long edges.

  9. Fold short edge over filling, then the bottom long edge. Carefuly pick up filling with wrapping and fold it over to the side. Fold top edge over it. Continue to fold over until you have a package about 4 1/2 inches square or improvise and wrap your own way.
