SAUSAGE AND SPINACH PIE

SAUSAGE AND SPINACH PIE
1 lb. Sweet Italian Sausage (discard the casings)
2 10oz. packages chopped frozen spinach thawed out
6 eggs
16oz. shredded Mozzarella cheese
8oz. ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 pre made pie crusts (Pillsbury) or make your own.
1 tablespoon water
Thaw spinach. Squeeze out a much water as possible by hand. Use small amounts at a time. Fluff back up with a fork and set aside. Preheat oven to 375.
Break raw sausage up into small pieces and cook over medium heat until browned.
Reserve one egg yolk and set aside.
In a large bowl combine remaining eggs, sausage, spinach, Mozzarella, Ricotta, salt, garlic powder and pepper and mix well. Set aside.
Use one pie crust (unbaked) as a bottom crust in a 9 or 10 inch (ungreased) pie plate.
Fill plate with pie mixture and cover with second crust. Seal edges of the crusts together and press around edges with a fork. Cut out about a dime size circle in the center of the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Mix egg yolk with water and brush the top of the pie with it.
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and let stand for about 10 minutes to set.
