The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

1 sheet refrigerated pie pastry
1 cup grape tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon plus 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/8 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 small onion, chopped
1 package (6 ounces) fresh baby spinach, chopped
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Unroll pastry into a 9-in. pie plate; flute edges. Line unpricked pastry with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Fill with dried beans, uncooked rice or pie weights.
Bake at 450 ° for 8 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
Place tomatoes in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Bake at 450 ° until skins blister, about 8-10 minutes.
In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Remove sausage. In the same skillet, cook spinach until wilted, about 4-5 minutes.
Combine sausage, tomatoes, spinach and cheese; transfer to crust. Whisk eggs, cream, garlic powder and remaining salt and pepper; pour over top.
Bake at 375 ° until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
