  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in sausage. Cook and stir until sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  • Separate one egg and set yolk aside; beat egg white and remaining eggs in a bowl. Fold mozzarella cheese, spinach, ricotta cheese, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and sausage into eggs.
  • Line a 10-inch pie plate with bottom pastry; pour filling into crust. Roll out remaining pastry to fit the top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal, and flute edges; cut slits in pastry. Beat water and remaining egg yolk in a small bowl; brush over the top of pie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, 50 to 60 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
