Eggs a la Coco (three cheeses & herbs-egg dish in phyllo w/ Béchamel Sauce)

This dish is in honor of my friend Eric’s mom – Coco von Boudy. She was such a beautiful and elegant woman who was a fashion model in the 50’s and 60’s. I made her this egg dish one day and she just adored it. I will remember her smile and that day forever.
