You can make sweet stuff or not sweet stuff.

You can adapt some recipe you have now to use it.

For example, chicken pot pie, or mexican food.

Are there recipes on the package?

Look up the company on the internet, those can be the best recipes.

A restaurant I use to go to the old German lady owner would for Christmas parties make a sausage, feta cheese, spinach rolled in phyllo dough and baked and sliced into pinwheels.  they were wonderful!!  I crave them now every year and the restaurant no longer exists since the owners passed   I have never googled to try to find the recipe.

ETA: this could be it!  https://www.cooks.com/recipe/ih03t9hl/sausage-spinach-in-phyllo.html

Spanakopita. Always! Work fast and keep the phyllo covered as you brush each layer with butter. I usually make it for New Year’s Eve. My husband loves it. The option for us is a related Better Homes and Gardens recipe called Greek Croustade. I just googled it, and you can still find the recipe online.

Thaw the phyllo by letting it sit in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 4-5 hours.  When working with phyllo, cover with plastic wrap and then a damp dish towel to keep it from drying out.

Wow! what a great bargain! I use it a LOT!

The basic directions are to layer a few sheets, , brushing each with butter as you lay themon top of each other (If you are using a very wet filling, like a fruit strudel, you will want to layer them with some dried breadcrumbs too.)

For an easy appetizer, take your rectangle of filo, which is now 3-4 sheets "thick" .. Layer things and roll into a jellyroll, slice, then bake- Some ideas: thinly sliced ham, swiss and green onion;  spinach leaves, feta and sliced olives; mozzarella and cappocola or pepperoni; Gorgonzola, dates and toasted almonds; crab or shrimp salad,;sauerkraut, corned beef and swiss; Mushroom duxelles with Swiss...Really the possibilities are endless..

You can do these in advance, precook to the not quite totally done stage, and then freeze..

Also,  cut the prepared filo into squares, and push them into muffin cups, making "shells, or cups" which you can fill with anything, sweet OR savory..

enjoy!!!
