3 teaspoons white truffle oil
1 egg, beaten

Roll one piece of dough out on a floured surface into a 14-inch square or round (keeping the remaining dough covered with plastic wrap). Line the prepared pan with the rolled out dough, letting the excess dough drape over the sides of the pan. Spread half of the spinach mixture over the bottom of the dough.

Salt and pepper to taste. Roll the remaining piece of dough out into an 11-inch square or round. With a pastry or pizza wheel, cut 10 one-inch wide strips. Place five of the strips an inch apart over the filling. Place the remaining strips across the first strips diagonally to create a lattice pattern. Trim the excess dough leaving a slight overhang.
