Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F.

On a lightly floured surface, unroll pastry. Transfer to a 9 inch pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of plate. Flute edges.

Line unpricked pastry with a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Bake 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce heat to 350°.

In a small skillet, cook bacon, onion and red pepper until vegetables are tender. Drain. Stir in spinach. Spoon spinach mixture into pastry.

In a small bowl, combine the egg substitute, cottage cheese, Swiss cheese and seasonings. Pour over spinach mixture.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Top with sour cream.
