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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese.

Step 6

Add the spinach mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until evenly combined.

Step 7

Roll out the whole wheat pastry dough and carefully line the prepared pie dish with it. Trim any excess dough from the edges.

Step 8

Pour the spinach and egg mixture into the pastry-lined dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your healthy spinach pie!
