Cut phyllo sheets in half diagonally to form 2 equal size triangesl. Place 1 sheet in prepared pan, lightly coat with cooking spray, and top with another sheet of phyllo, placing corners just to the right of the previous corners. Repeat with remaining sheetsm so you're covering the pan with a fan of phylo. Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes
