meat mixture over the phyllo, spreading it evenly.
Place sliced eggs on top of the meat. Fold the
overhanging edges of the phyllo sheets onto the
filling. Butter them well. Add remaining sheets to
form top crust, again buttering each sheet before
using it. Score top lightly with sharp, pointed knife
into serving-size pcs. Pour on any remaining butter.
