Focaccia Pie

I got this dish from Better Homes and Gardens from December 2009. I had all the ingredients ready except for the focaccia bread and asked Tim to pick it up for me. When he arrived with a different type of bread I thought I could make it work... not so much. So, needless to say, I made it without the main ingredient, and it did not look as appealing as the picture. It tasted great but definitely needs to be made with the focaccia bread. I hope you enjoy!

  • 3/4 cup oil-packed dried tomato halves with italian herbs (3 oz.)
  • 12-inch round flat-top rosemary or garlic focaccia bread
  • 8 oz. bulk Italian sausage
  • 1 4 oz. pkg baby spinach (4 cups)
  • 2 oz. goat cheese or feta cheese

Heat oven to 250 degrees. Drain tomatoes, reserving oil. Place focaccia on large baking sheet and brush with 2 tsps of oil. Cut in 8 wedges. Arrange wedges in circle. Place in oven to warm.

Meanwhile, in a 12-inch skillet cook sausage over medium-high heat, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Drain sausage in a colander, reserving 2 tsps drippings in skillet. Cook spinach in drippings just until wilted. Set oven to broil. Top warmed focaccia with cheese, dried tomatoes, sausage, and spinach. Broil, 3-5 minutes or until cheese is softened and toppings are heated through. Drizzle wedges with additional oil from tomatoes.
