Step 2
2
Preheat oven to 375°. Drain greens and squeeze as dry as possible. In a bowl, stir greens with oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 3

Butter an 8-in. square baking pan and lay 1 filo square in bottom. Brush lightly with butter and top with 5 more squares, buttering each. Top with greens, then cheese.

*Or use 3 bags (10 oz. each) chopped mustard greens; they'll be slightly chewier, since the ribs are included.
