Ingredients
  

  • 1 Whole Wheat Pie Crust  or your favorite pie crust dough
  • 1 tablespoon  extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup leeks white and light green parts only (about 1 small leek)
  • 3 cups  fresh baby spinach
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 3/4 cup non-fat milk
  • 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1  cup  reduced-fat feta cheese crumbled (4 ounces)

Instructions
 

  • Parbake the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a well-floured surface. Working from the center, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle, then transfer it to an ungreased 9″ pie dish. With a fork, pierce rows of holes in the bottom and sides of the dough, about 1 inch apart. Bake until the crust is lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and sauté for 5 minutes, until tender. Add the spinach and sauté for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
