Directions

Lightly grease 8-inch springform pan.

Roll out ¾ pastry ¼ inch thick and line bottom and sides of pan.

Keep remaining pastry refrigerated.

Heat oil and butter in large skillet.

Add spinach and garlic and sauté 2 to 3 minutes.

Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Remove from skillet.

Add red peppers to skillet and sauté briefly.

Remove from heat and set aside.

For omelets: Lightly beat eggs, herbs and salt to taste.

In 7 to 8 inch skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and shake so butter coats bottom evenly.

Pour in ½ egg mixture and stir briefly.

As eggs start to set, lift edges so liquid can run under.

When eggs are completely set, and top of omelet is no longer moist, shake pan and slide omelet onto warm plate.

Repeat with remaining butter and egg mixture.

To assemble: Position rack in lower ⅓ of oven and preheat to 350℉ (180℃).

Layer ingredients in prepared pan in following order: 1 omelet, ½ spinach, ½ cheese, ½ ham, and all red peppers.

Repeat layering in reverse order, using remaining ingredients.

Roll remaining pastry ¼ inch thick. Cut out 8-inch circle.

Place over omelet and seal well to pastry lining by pinching with fingers.

With tip of knife, draw number of slices desired directly on pastry, or decorate with scraps of pastry.

Brush with beaten egg.

Place pan on baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 70 to 75 minutes.

Cool slightly.

Release from pan and serve tourte warm, slicing with sharp, thin knife.
