Puff Pastry Spinach Bake
- 17-13 ounces, weight Package Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets
- 6 whole Eggs
- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
- 1 dash Hot Pepper Sauce
- 1/4 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 20 ounces, weight Frozen Chopped Spinach, Thawed And Well-drained
- 6 slices Cooked Turkey Bacon, Chopped
- 1- 1/2 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1/2 cups Fresh Red Bell Pepper, Finely Diced
- Grease a 9-inch springform pan, to prevent sticking.
- To catch any leaks, place a large sheet of foil under the pan and bring it up loosely around sides.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Unfold pastry sheets and roll out one sheet to about an 11-inch square and roll one out to about a 12-inch square.
- Line the bottom and sides of greased springform pan with the 12-inch pastry sheet.
- Beat eggs in medium bowl with whisk.
- Reserve 1 Tablespoon of the beaten egg and set that aside.
- Add ricotta, hot sauce, salt and spinach to the rest of the egg in the bowl; mix until blended.
- Layer half each of the bacon, cheese, spinach mixture, and red peppers in the pastry-lined pan.
- Repeat layers one more time.
- Place remaining pastry sheet over mixture; fold and tuck pastry edges into pan to enclose filling.
- Make sure no air is trapped between spinach mixture and top pastry sheet.
- Pinch edges to seal.
- Brush surface with the reserved egg.
- Pierce the top of the pastry several times with a knife to form slits, which will allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake 45 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
- Keep oven door closed during the entire baking time to avoid cracking or falling of pastry.
- When done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Run a knife around edge of pan before removing the outer ring of the pan.
- Cut and serve!
