Unroll and cover phyllo with plastic wrap and then a slightly damp towel to prevent drying out. Place one sheet of phyllo on work surface and lightly brush with olive oil. Layer and repeat with five more sheets. Using a 9” round pan or plate as a template, cut a 9″ circles from phyllo stack. Repeat procedure 5 more times to create a total of 6 circles.
