Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Leeks: Clean the leeks thoroughly to remove any grit. Chop the leeks into thin slices.
- Kale: Remove the coarse stems from the kale and finely shred the leaves.
- Spinach: If your spinach leaves are large, you can roughly chop them.
3. Sauté the Leeks: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped leeks and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until they become translucent and tender.
4. Add Kale and Spinach: Add the shredded kale to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale starts to soften. Then, add the spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted.
5. Season: Stir in the black pepper and lemon zest. Mix well and remove the skillet from the heat. Add the chopped fresh parsley and combine.
6. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined. Crumble the feta cheese into the eggs and mix well.
7. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked vegetables (leek, kale, spinach, parsley, etc.) into the egg and feta mixture. Stir to combine thoroughly.
8. Toast the Pine Nuts: In a separate small skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent burning. Once toasted, add the pine nuts to the egg and vegetable mixture and stir.
9. Pour into Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
10. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set, and the top is golden brown. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center – it should come out clean.
11. Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Wash the kale, spinach, and leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit before cooking.

- Chop the leeks, kale, and parsley finely to ensure an even distribution of flavors throughout the pie.

- Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown to enhance their flavor before adding them to the pie.

- Whisk the eggs well to achieve a consistent and fluffy texture for the pie.

- Crumb the feta cheese over the top of the mixture for an evenly distributed creamy taste in every slice.

- Use a preheated oven to ensure even cooking throughout the pie.

- Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes after baking before slicing to help the pieces hold together better.
