Ingredients
- Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
- 5 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach or Swiss chard
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 Tbsp. dried minced onion
- 1 Tbsp. minced chives
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
- Dash pepper
- 6 brown-and-serve sausage links
- 3 slices fresh tomato, halved
Directions
Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry. Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate; flute edges. Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450 degrees F for 8 minutes. Remove the foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on wire rack.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Stir in spinach, cheese, onion, chives, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Carefully pour into crust.
Cook sausage according to package directions. Arrange sausage in a spoke pattern in egg mixture; place tomato slices between links. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings.
