Blanch the mixed greens in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain thoroughly and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Chop them finely.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the blanched and chopped greens to the skillet with the onions. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until any remaining moisture has evaporated.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked greens and onion mixture, myzithra cheese, feta cheese (if using), scallions, dill, mint, eggs, remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil.

Layer half of the phyllo sheets in the baking dish, brushing each sheet with olive oil. Spread the filling evenly over the phyllo base.

Cover the filling with the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each with olive oil. Tuck the edges of the phyllo down into the sides of the dish.
