Melt 2-3 tbsp butter. Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, damp tea towel and brush with butter. Repeat so that you have 3-4 layers of pastry. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top layer then spoon the spinach filling along one long edge, leaving a 2 inch margin. Add boiled eggs. Roll up, using the tea towel to help, then secure by brushing the final edge with butter. Place on a baking sheet and brush with remaining butter. Press gently all over.
