Lay one sheet of phyllo on a clean work surface and brush it evenly with melted butter. Lay a second sheet directly on top and brush again. Repeat with two more sheets so you have a 4-layer stack. Cut the stack into 6 equal squares (roughly 4×4 inches each). Press each square gently into a prepared muffin cup, letting the corners ruffle up above the rim. Repeat with the remaining 4 phyllo sheets to fill all 12 cups.
