1 In a skillet, saute ground meat in olive oil with onions until browned; season with salt, oregano and pepper; add tomato sauce & cinnamon.

2 In a small bowl, beat eggs and stir in Parmesan cheese; when ground meat has cooled, fold in the eggs and cheese mixture.

3 Butter a 9x13 inch baking pan; arrange six sheets of Phyllo pastry on bottom of pan, buttering each sheet with the melted butter.

4 Spread a layer of cooled meat mixture evenly on Phyllo & cover with remaining six phyllo sheets, brushing each with melted butter.

5 Trim edges of Phyllo to fit pan with a sharp knife; slice through top of pastry to form diamond shapes.

6 Bake in a preheated 350°F oven until pastry is golden crisp, about 20 to 25 minutes.

7 May be served hot or cold.
