3 cups 

 

chopped onion

 

1 tsp 

 

granulated sugar

 

½ tsp 

 

salt

 

2 cups 

 

frozen Southern-style hash brown potatoes, thawed

 

One 11-ounce 

 

can refrigerated soft breadstick dough

 

10 ounce 

 

package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry

 

1 cup

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 10-inch pie plate with cooking spray.

2

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, sugar and salt; cook for 30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Stir in potatoes, and cook for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from heat.

3

Unroll dough, separating into strips. Working on a flat surface, coil one strip of dough around itself in a spiral pattern. Add second strip of dough to the end of the first strip, pinching ends together to seal; continue coiling the dough. Repeat procedure with the remaining dough strips. Cover and let dough rest for 10 minutes. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle, and fit into a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate coated with cooking spray.

4

Spread potato mixture in bottom of prepared crust, and top with spinach. Combine milk, egg whites, eggs and cheese; pour the milk mixture over the spinach.

5

Bake for 1 hour or until set, shielding crust with foil after 50 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
