Assemble the Spanakopita
Preheat the oil for frying in a deep skillet or fryer. Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush with melted butter. Layer another sheet on top and brush again with butter. Cut the dough into strips (about 4 inches wide). Place a spoonful of the filling at one end of each strip and fold the dough over to form a triangle. Continue folding the triangle down the strip, sealing in the filling, until the end of the strip is reached. Brush the top with more melted butter.
