Cut phyllo sheets lengthwise into 2-inch strips. Cover with plastic wrap then with wet towel to keep them from drying out. Place 1 level tsp. cheese mixture on end of 1 strip. Fold strip over cheese mixture, end over end in triangle shape, to opposite end. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining strips and cheese mixture. Brush triangles lightly with butter.
