Preheat the oven to 350°.
Defrost broccoli and spinach.
If fresh spinach is used, wash thoroughly, cut into coarse pieces, and set aside.

Remove from the heat to cool a bit.
Fold the phyllo leaves in half, and cut to make 24 sheets to fit an oblong baking dish (12 by 7 by 2 inches).
Using a pastry brash, butter the baking dish, and begin layering the first 12 phyllo leaves, brushing each as it is added.
Drain excess liquid from broccoli-spinach mixture, and spread it over the phyllo.
Cover with remaining 12 sheets, repeating the buttering process.
Cut the pie into 10 (or more) pieces, using a sharp, pointed knife.
Bake uncovered, for 1 hour, or until golden brown.
