Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Brush 1 sheet of phyllo with a thin layer of the butter mixture.
Sprinkle with Cayenne pepper and grated cheese. Top with a second phyllo sheet and brush with the butter mixture again.
Cut in half lengthwise and then crosswise to obtain 4 rectangles.
Cut each rectangle into 4 strips.
Transfer to baking sheet, making sure the pieces do not touch.
Sprinkle lightly with sunflower seeds.
Bake about 5 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a rack.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Store in an airtight container.
