Ingredients

1/3 cup extra virgin Greek olive oil
1 large leek, trimmed and chopped
3 cups fresh baby spinach
4 eggs, lightly beaten
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Grating of nutmeg to taste
1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
½ cup chopped fresh dill
2/3 cup crumbled Greek feta
2/3 cup halved teardrop tomatoes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F/200C.
Heat half the olive oil in a 10-inch cast-iron or ovenproof frying pan over medium heat and cook the leeks until soft and lightly browned. Add the spinach to the pan and cook together with the leeks until wilted and no liquid is left.
Whisk the eggs until frothy, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Grate some nutmeg either into the eggs or over the spinach-leek mixture.
Pour the eggs into the pan over the spinach-leek mixture, tilting it so that the eggs cover the surface evenly. Sprinkle with dill, feta and pine nuts and bake in the middle of a preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until puffed, set, and slightly golden. Remove, cool for a minute or two, cut into wedges and serve, garnished with chopped tomatoes and a drizzling of the remaining olive oil per serving.
