1 jar (7oz) roasted red peppers, drained and chopped, divided
1 pkg (10oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1 c. flour
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried basil

In a skillet, cook sausage and onion until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a greased 3qt baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the red peppers and all of the spinach. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, Parmesan cheese, basil and salt. Combine eggs and milk; add to dry ingredients and mix well. Pour over spinach. Bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with provolone cheese and remaining red peppers. Bake 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting. Garnish with rosemary if desired. Yield: 10-12 servings.
