Make It

HEAT oven to 400°F.

UNFOLD pastry sheets. Roll out 1 sheet to 11-inch square; set aside. Roll out remaining sheet to 12-inch square; use to line bottom and side of 9-inch springform pan sprayed with cooking spray.

RESERVE 1 Tbsp. eggs. Mix remaining eggs with ricotta, pepper sauce and spinach. Layer half each of the bacon, cheddar, ricotta mixture and peppers in crust. Repeat layers.

COVER with remaining pastry sheet; fold under edges of pastry, then tuck inside pan. Brush pastry with reserved egg. Cut slits in top crust.

BAKE 45 to 55 min. or until golden brown. Cool 10 min. Run small knife around edge of pan to loosen crust before removing rim.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Your family will know it is the festive season when this special morning dish is served. Remember to balance your food choices throughout the day so you can enjoy a serving of this indulgent dish.

Make Ahead

Assemble and bake pie as directed. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. When ready to serve, bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 30 to 40 min. or until heated through.

Variation

If you don't have a springform pan, this recipe can be baked in a 13x9-inch baking dish instead. Roll out bottom and top pastry to fit dish. For ease in serving, line empty baking dish with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Spray with cooking spray. Prepare crust and fill with ingredients as directed. Bake at 350ºF for 35 to 40 min. or until golden brown. Let stand 10 min. Use foil handles to lift pie from dish before cutting to serve.

Very good recipe, easy too. I agree it needs more salt and meat. We used ham in ours instead of bacon. Very tasty! It even microwaves well, IF you have leftovers.

Made this recipe for a birthday brunch at work. Everyone loved it. It was gone before I knew it. It could use more salt and I will add more bacon or meat next time I make it, which will be for Thanksgiving. Everyone that ate it at the brunch asked for the recipe.

I was not to happy with this recipe, it just tasted to plan like it was missing something.

I made 2 of these for a "girls" breakfast and it went. Everyone raved about it. I did make an adjustment - more Tobasco sauce and bacon and omitted the red peppers. I was wonderful. Thanks for the new receipe

It was very easy looked great. It was, however, a little bland and needs some "kick" to it. I had even put in much more Tabasco Sauce called for, so some onions and salt and pepper and some other spices perhaps. It's a great base to experiment with.

My guests enjoyed the Sky-High Brunch Bake at a recent Holiday Brunch! The recipe was easy to follow.

I would omit the peppers, they were too crunchy among the other ingredients. Definitely needed more bacon and some salt/pepper for seasoning. It was very good though and looked beautiful!

This is an elegant light meal. My family thought it needed more bacon. I used cottage cheese in place of ricotta and chopped fresh spinach instead of frozen. Mushrooms and chopped fresh tomato would be good additions too. This is a great basic recipe.
