    This is a made up recipe that was delicious so I don't want to forget it. Plus, my kids ate fresh spinach without complaining. Should have measured the cheese but I didn't. The maple sausage gives this a sweet taste but it would probably be good with a spicy italian sausage or a sage sausage. For lower fat version switch the cheese and use turkey sausage.

    Ingredients

    • 2 Pillsbury pie crust. (1 box rolled crust.)
    • 1 pound Jimmy Dean Maple sausage
    • 1/4 cup (guessing) ricotta cheese
    • 4 oz. shredded Italian cheese blend (little over half of an 8 oz bag)
    • 1 egg
    • 2 Lg. handfuls of fresh spinach
    • Fresh graded parmesan cheese.
    • Salt and pepper. (to taste)

    Directions

    1. Roll 1 pie crust out on pizza pan.
    2. Brown and crumble maple sausage.
    3. While sausage is cooking. Spread ricotta cheese evenly over pie crust but keep it about 1/2 inch from the edge of the crust. (Used a rubber spatula and didn't put it to thick. Maybe 1/8th inch thick.)
    4. When the sausage is done stir in spinach until wilted. (I put 2 or 3 bounty paper towels in a glass bowl and then put the mix on top of the paper towels. Then took another towel to blot up extra oil.)
    5. Spread the mix over the ricotta cheese but keep it off of the border of the pie shell.
    6. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
    7. Cover the meat evenly with the Italian cheese mix.
    8. Place the second pie crust on top.
    9. Crimp the edges together making a cute little design.
    10. Scramble egg in a small bowl and brush over the top crust. Just to glaze it.
    11. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
    12. Bake at 350 until golden brown. (I also forgot to set the timer, maybe 30 minutes.)
    13. Let cool 3-5 minutes before cutting.
    14. This made 3 servings in my house but it probably should have been 6 servings.
