Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
- Carefully unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Roll one of them out to an 11″ square, then roll the other to a 12″ square. Use the 12″ sheet to line the bottom of your pan.
- Lightly beat the eggs and reserve 1 tablespoon of the beaten eggs. Mix the rest of the eggs in with the ricotta, hot sauce, and spinach.
- Layer half of the ricotta mixture on the puff pastry in the pan, then half of each the bacon, cheese, and peppers. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Cover everything with the remaining puff pastry sheet and fold the edges in to secure the filling. Brush the pastry with your reserved tbsp of egg, and bake for about 1 hour or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a butter knife around the edges to loosen them. Cut into slices and serve.

Notes
- Thaw puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours to make it easier to handle.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal and to keep the shape of the bake intact.
- Cook the bacon ahead of time until crispy for the best texture and flavor.
- If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water.
- Reserve a tablespoon of beaten egg to brush on the pastry for a golden brown finish.
- Feel free to customize the fillings with your favorite vegetables or cheeses.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
