  7. When eggs are cooked, remove the pan from the heat and drain the eggs well in a colander.
  8. Set he eggs aside to cool.
  9. Open the phyllo and cover with a damp towel so it will not dry out.
  10. Take an 8-10 inch round baking pan/dish and cover generously with butter.
  11. Very gently, spread 5 sheets of phyllo dough alternately criss-cross over the pan, leaving some phyllo dough draped around the edges of the pan.

  18. Cover with 3 layers of phyllo and pour on the rest of the eggs and the chicken.
  19. Cover with 2 layers of crunched phyllo and close the draping edges very gently like a rose, without pushing, it needs to be very fluffy.
