Spinach Cheese Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped spinach, fully drained
6 eggs
1 lb. Mozzarella, grated
1 lb. Ricotta
1 lb. hot Italian sausage, browned and dried
seasonings: garlic, ground pepper and salt
1 egg yolk, combined with water (for basting)

Preparation

Combine ingredients.
Put in pie crust shell (Pillsbury preformed sheets are excellent for the top; deep dish shell for bottom).
Prepare crust top with design of choice (we make leaves with trimmings), being sure to cut out a center hole and other cuts for steam release.
Baste the entire shell top with egg yolk.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 1 hour (plus 15 minutes, depending upon oven temperature).
Rebaste after 45 minutes.
Serve cool.
Yields 12 average servings.
