Place the stack of phyllo dough sheets on a cutting board and cover it with a slightly damp towel.

Cut the phyllo in half crosswise to make two (7 × 8½-inch) rectangles.

Place one sheet of phyllo on the board, brush it with butter, and sprinkle it with ¾ teaspoon of bread crumbs.

The phyllo cooks until golden, crisp, and flaky, and the cheesy spinach filling is addictive, to say the least.
