Layered Mediterranean Pie image

I adapted this recipe from a Robin Hood pamphlet 40 years ago. I made it easier and faster by using frozen chopped spinach instead of fresh spinach. You could use prepared red peppers from a jar or roasted red pepper if you like. If you use frozen pie crust, sliced ham and sliced mozzarella from your grocery store this recipe...
