Spinach, Leek, and Cheese Pie

Ingredients for Spinach, Leek, and Cheese Pie

• 60ml olio extravergine di oliva

• 1 large Spanish onion, peeled and finely diced

• Sale grosso

• 1 leek (white part only), washed well and thinly sliced crosswise

• Pepe macinato fresco

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature

• 130g di farina

• 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

• 200g Greek yoghurt

• 300g feta cheese, crumbled

• 1 cup sautéed spinach, squeezed very dry and chopped

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

• 3 large eggs, at room temperature, beaten

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 6 minutes. Add the leek, season with more salt and the pepper, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set in an ice bath to cool.

2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 163°C.

3. Generously coat an 8-inch round nonstick springform pan with butter and chill.

4. Sift together the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl; set aside.

5. Combine the yoghurt, feta, onion-and-leek mixture, spinach, and dill in a large bowl. Add the eggs and stir to combine. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir in the flour mixture and season with more salt and pepper. Pour into the prepared pan, gently tapping the sides to level the top.

6. Bake for 30 minutes. Increase heat to 218°C and bake until golden brown and set in the centre, about 10 minutes more.

7. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes before unmolding.

8. Cut into wedges and serve.
