Lay two phyllo sheets vertically on the prepared baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
Continue layering phyllo sheets in a clockwise fashion, brushing each set of two sheets with melted butter.
Once all phyllo sheets are used, spread the spinach mixture evenly in the center, forming a circle.
