What You Need

pkg. (17.3 oz.) frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed

eggs, beaten

cup POLLY-O Original Ricotta Cheese

Dash hot pepper sauce

pkg. (10 oz. each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained

slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, cooked, chopped

1-1/2

cups KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese

cup chopped red peppers

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.

I have a recipe for spinach pie like this using pie crust and sausage. This is delicious, next time I'm trying it with sausage, the possibilities are endless. The pics are beautiful!)

I made this recipe as directed and it was delicious. Then I got 'creative'. I substituted 1/2 cup of sliced olives for the bacon (replaces the salty/fatty taste). And I substituted 1 cup crumbled feta for the shredded cheddar cheese (I did not do a 1-1 substitution since feta is saltier and has a stronger taste.) Voila!! Greek (sorta) spinach pie. It was really delicious.

Omigosh! This was so good! I had never used puff pastry, and I can't afford the pastries like this at Panera Bread.

A holiday favorite at our house. The only alteration I make is to mix the vegetable/egg ingredients together instead of layering.

This was great!! I never worked with puff pastry before, so I was a bit apprehensive. Everything worked out well. I will add more seasoning, cheese, bacon and onions next time.

I liked the recipe but grandkids thought there was too much spinach. Next time I will use less and add more eggs and see how that goes...but there will be a next time
