Lay one thawed phyllo sheet on counter. Lightly brush with butter. Keep remaining phyllo covered with a damp towel.
Place phyllo sheet butter-side up in prepared pan so that one end covers the bottom of the pan, and the other end overhangs the rim.
Repeat with 7 more sheets of phyllo, rotating the pan so all sides are evenly covered in a circular pattern. Gently press phyllo against sides of the pan.
Lift overhanging edges up toward the centre of the pan and fold toward the sides of the pan. Press folds against the side of the pan, forming a shell.
We hope that everyone has a feast to remember this Christmas! Merry Christmas from our Kitchen to yours :)
