  • 3. Cut individual phyllo pastry sheets into 15 x 20 cm (6” x 8”) pieces. Lightly brush with canola oil.
  • 4. Spread 1 tsp filling along one end of pastry sheet and roll over once. Turn in edges of pastry and roll up to make a cigar shape. Repeat this procedure until all of the filling has been used.
