Working with one sheet at a time, lightly coat one side of the filo sheet with a bit of the melted butter**.

Scoop up about ⅓ cup of the tofu-spinach mixture. Arrange it in a line along the bottom edge of the filo sheet, then crumble some feta on top.

Gently start rolling the filo sheet to encase the filling.

Place the rolled filo sheets onto the baking tray, shaping it into a spiral. Don't worry if any cracks form. Continue until you've used up all the sheets and the filling.
