Instructions



1. Line pie plate with crust; wrap remaining pastry until ready to use. Remove sausage from casing and brown well, stirring. Drain well. Combine eggs (reserving one yolk), meat spinach (squeezed to remove all water), cheeses and spices; spoon into pie plate, mounding slightly in centre. Roll remaining pastry; cover pie – trim, leaving 1/2 inch overhang. Press around rim to make edge stand up. Make hole in the centre and cut slits with sharp knife.
