Unroll phyllo, cover with plastic wrap. Remove one sheet and lightly brush with butter. Place a second sheet on top; brush with butter. Add four more sheets, one at a time, brushing each with butter. Spread half the filling over the phyllo stack, spreading to within 3 inches of long sides and 1 1/2 inches of short sides. Fold short sides of phyllo over the filling. Fold one long side of phyllo over filling, then roll up. Repeat to make second roll.
