2 cups mozzarella, grated finely
1 tbsp dried jalapeno/chili flakes

Lay out one sheet of phyllo, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with panko. Lay a second sheet on top of the first; press down to make it stick. Repeat with the butter and panko. Lay a third sheet on top of the second; press down to make it stick. Brush the top lightly with butter. Divide the phyllo into four equal strips across the width.
