  3. Add beef or lamb, crushing it with a fork.
  4. Add seasonings and spices.
  5. Cook 10-15 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon, until meat is well cooked and lump free.

  7. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl and pour over the meat.
  8. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring, until egg mixture sets to creamy consistency.
  9. Add more spices and seasonings, if desired and allow to cool.
  10. (I would add red pepper flakes) Cut each sheet of phyllo pastry into three equal-sized rectangles.
  11. Place one on top of the other and cover with a damp towel.
