Preheat the oven – Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C / Gas Mark 5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Layer the filo – Place one sheet of filo on the work surface and brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Continue until you have 5 layers. Keep the remaining filo covered with a slightly damp kitchen towel while you work.

Fill and roll – Spoon half the filling along one long side of the filo, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the short sides over the filling, then gently roll the filo around the filling to form a strudel.
Make the second strudel – Place the strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 5 filo sheets and filling.
Bake – Brush the tops and sides lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Make a few shallow diagonal cuts across the top if desired. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp and golden brown.
Serve – Let the strudels rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
