  2. Thaw frozen spinach and squeeze ALL the juice out of it.
  3. Drain the tomatoes and squeeze out as much juice as possible.
  4. (This is critical.
  5. Wet tomatoes will result in soggy eggs).
  6. Chop pepperoni, reserving 9 slices OR chop sausage and reserve 1/4 of the chopped meat.
  7. Mix flour with baking powder.
  8. Add melted butter and work in well.
  9. Add the 3/4 cup milk and mix to make a soft dough.
  10. Flour your fingers then pat crust into the pan in an even layer that extends about an inch up the side.

  15. Bake for 45 minutes or until eggs are set in the center and cheese is browned.
  16. Any leftovers are good cold or briefly reheated in the microwave.
  17. Note: Prep goes more smoothly on a sleepy, weekend morning if you drain the spinach and tomatoes and assemble all dry ingredients the night before.
  18. Then you need only mix and assemble before baking.
  19. Note: If your family is larger or if you do OAMC the recipe can be doubled and made in a 13x9 pan or a deep-dish pizza pan if you increase cooking time appropriately.

  22. Heat 45-60 seconds on full power, turn, and repeat.

  25. If you prefer broccoli over spinach or youd like to add a little anchovy or some green pepper go ahead.
