  4. Arrange quarters of eggs, then sprinkle with parsley, mint and lemon zest. Add crumbled feta cheese.
  5. Pour on olive oil and beef broth. Sprinkle with oregano and pepper. Finally, add beaten egg.
  6. Top with remaining 12 phyllo sheets brushed lightly with melted butter.
  7. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). during the last 10 minutes, raise the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Cut into diamonds or squares and serve warm.
