If you really want to get into phenomenology read Brentano and Husserl. I don't know what to recommend here.

Now, for Heidegger, the prerequisites are basically the entire Western canon, especially the presocratics, Plato, Aristotle, Augustin, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Brentano, Husserl, Dilthey. That being said, Heidegger can be approached even with a limited knowledge of the western canon. His works are standalone and easy to understand if you pay attention. Despite of what you may have heard, Heidegger is very coherent and writes clearly. Some of the ways he uses words and their meaning might be confusing the first time, but I say just read the section again or use a dictionary like that one here

As for recommendations, I would say something like:
>The Concept of Time
>The Question Concerning Technology
>What is Metaphysics?
-----------------------------
You can jump above these works and start with Being and Time, I recommended them as a way to get more familiar with Heidegger, because I think they are an easy way to get into Heidegger if you feel like Being and Time is too challenging, though I think Being and Time could be easily approached.

>Being and Time

Basically anywhere you want after this
