Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté greens, stirring, until wilted and any liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer greens to a bowl. Stir in ricotta, Parmigiano, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Wipe the skillet clean. Brush the inside with 0.5 tbsp olive oil, then lay 3 phyllo sheets inside, letting edges overlap the rim.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the phyllo. Layer the remaining 3 sheets on top, tucking edges down into the pan.

  5. Step 5

    Brush the top with remaining 1.5 tbsp olive oil. Cook over medium heat until the bottom is golden and crisp, about 6 minutes (listen for gentle sizzle).

  6. Step 6

    Slide onto a plate, cut into wedges, and serve hot.
