SKY HIGH BRUNCH BAKE
***Sien nota van Kiti de Jager
All we ask of brunch is that it knock our socks off. And this this make-ahead bake with puff-pastry-wrapped bacon, cheesy eggs and spinach does just that.
servings total: 12 servings
what you need
1 pkt frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup Ricotta Cheese
Dash hot pepper sauce
300g frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained
4 slices Bacon, cooked, chopped
1-1/2 Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 cup chopped red peppers
How to make it
HEAT oven to 200°C.
UNFOLD pastry sheets. Roll out 1 sheet to 11-inch square; set aside. Roll out remaining sheet to 12-inch square; use to line bottom and side of 9-inch springform pan sprayed with cooking spray.
RESERVE 1 Tbsp. eggs. Mix remaining eggs with ricotta, pepper sauce and spinach. Layer half each of the bacon, cheddar, ricotta mixture and peppers in crust. Repeat layers.
COVER with remaining pastry sheet; fold under edges of pastry, then tuck inside pan. Brush pastry with reserved egg. Cut slits in top crust.
BAKE 45 to 55 min. or until golden brown. Cool 10 min. Run small knife around edge of pan to loosen crust before removing rim.

NOTA:
Ek het myne se bodem eers leeg gebak, toe halfpad gebak in ‘n springform pan, toe uitgehaal en teruggesit in die oond. Die kante was te sag na my smaak. Ek het my ham baie chunky gesny en was nie lus vir fuss nie, so het nie lae nie. Die capsicum is ook bo-op, nie in die middel soos dit moet nie. Te veel vulsel het gemaak dat ek nog een in die vrieskas het, rou. Sal terugvoer gee oor die as hy gebak is na hy gevries is.
