Cheese & Spinach Pie

I found this recipe in a local newspaper years ago, originally entitled "Italian Rustica Pie." I made a few changes based on my family's preferences. It's a one-dish meal, but not low cal!

• Yields: 1 pie

Ingredients

• 2  pie crusts

1. Prepare pie crusts either from your own recipe or using pre-made crusts from the grocery store.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
3. In a large bowl, slightly beat 3 eggs. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. Spoon filling mixture into piecrust-lined pan. Top with second crust and flute edges. Cut slits in top to vent.

7. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
