Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the bread cubes with 1 tablespoon oil and spread evenly in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the cubes begin to turn light golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes (do not over-brown as the bread cubes will continue to brown when baked atop the sausage in the dish). Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sausage. Break up the sausage with a wooden spoon and cook until the sausage has cooked through and the onion is soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and basil.
• Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread the mixture evenly into a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish or ceramic baking dish. Sprinkle the goat cheese on the mixture and arrange the bread cubes on top. Make 6 slight indentations in the mixture, spacing apart. Cover and chill. This can be prepared 2 hours ahead.
• Crack 1 egg into each indentation, making sure to keep the yolks intact. Sprinkle the eggs lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Bake until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 15 minutes (or 18 minutes for a fully cooked yolk).

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions (approximately 10 minutes) then drain. Meanwhile cook the sausage covered in 1/2 inch water in a non stick fry pan on high until done (approximately 10 minutes). Cool, halve lengthwise and slice very thin. In large bowl combine all ingredients and mix well. When ready to serve, placed about 12 ounces in a bowl (I use salad plates) and microwave on high for 90 seconds. Top with Parmesan cheese if desired or extra tomato sauce and a dash of basil. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Prepare crust as you would for any pie. Divide the pastry into 2 balls. Roll out one ball of pastry and put into a 9in pie plate. Set other ball of dough aside until filling is done.
• Cut the basket cheese into about 1/2in squares and put into a large mixing bowl with cooked and cooled sausage. Beat the 9 eggs, sausage grease and parmesan cheese until combined. Mix the egg mixture into the sausage and cheese mixture until well combined. Pour into the pie plate.
• Roll out other dough ball the was set aside and put it on top the sausgae egg mixture and close the edges with a fork.
• Bake at 350 for about an hour and the crust is golden brown.
