Yorkshire Pudding Pie

Another easy, one-dish dinner; this one based on Yorkshire Pudding. Check freezer for any odd bits of meat - anything will work. Winter supermarket tomatoes work just fine in this.
Yorkshire Pudding Pie
Total time: 45 minutes
Filled with peppers, onions and spinach, this is a savory pie for a one-dish dinner. I use a bit of sausage in this but you could easily use cooked chicken, beef or ham; just not too much or it won't 'puff' properly. Any leftovers are great for breakfast!
Ingredients:
- 6oz (180gr) bulk sausage, or link, removed from casings
- 1 small onion
- 1/2 green pepper
- 1 rib celery
- 2 cloves garlic
- 8oz (240gr) frozen, chopped spinach
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 2 tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese, (2oz, 60gr)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (8oz, 240ml) milk
- 1 cup flour
- pinch nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 tsp olive oil
Instructions:
- Peel and chop onion, garlic.
- Chop pepper, celery.
- Heat 2 tsp olive oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add onion, pepper, celery, garlic and sauté until tender.
- Add sausage and brown, breaking it up as it cooks.
- When done remove from heat.
- Thaw spinach and squeeze dry.
- Add to meat mixture along with basil and mix thoroughly.
- Slice tomatoes thinly: 5 - 7 slices per tomato.
- In medium bowl lightly beat eggs with wire whisk.
- Add milk, flour, salt and nutmeg. Beat lightly to just combine; a few lumps are okay - over-beating is not.
- Put remaining 2 tsp olive oil in 10-inch glass baking dish and run it around to coat the bottom.
- Pour in the batter mixture.
- Spoon meat/spinach mixture over top to within 1 inch of sides of dish.
- Layer tomatoes on top of meat and sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake at 425F (215C) for 30 minutes or until edges puff up and are golden brown.
- Cut into wedges and serve.
