Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh spinach
- 1 sheet Whole wheat pastry dough
- 3 large Eggs
- 150 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 4 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan.
Wash the spinach thoroughly and blanch it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Drain well and press to remove excess water. Roughly chop the spinach and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped green onions and garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, and sauté for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese.
Add the spinach mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until evenly combined.
Roll out the whole wheat pastry dough and carefully line the prepared pie dish with it. Trim any excess dough from the edges.
Pour the spinach and egg mixture into the pastry-lined dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your healthy spinach pie!
