Steps:
- Preheat your oven and press pie dough in dish. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Press the pie dough into a pie dish. Crimp the edges if you want to.
- Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and set aside to drain. Place sliced tomatoes on a wire rack nestled into a rimmed baking sheet, and sprinkle both sides with kosher salt (if you don't have a wire rack, you can use a large colander). Set aside.
- Blind bake the crust. Blind bake the pie crust at 350 degrees for approximately 15 minutes, or until just starting to brown using pie weights or beans (see notes).
- Thaw and drain frozen spinach. While the pie crust blind bakes, thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out as much water as possible. I like to place it frozen in a sturdy colander, run hot water over it until it's thawed, then use a wooden spoon to squeeze as much water out as possible.
- Mix mayo, mozzarella, spinach, and hot sauce. In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise (1/2 cup), shredded mozzarella (16 oz.), spinach, and hot sauce, if using (1 tablespoon).
- Pat tomatoes as dry as possible with a paper towel. I recommend patting both sides dry and pressing fairly firmly down on them. You may need to squeeze the water out of the paper towel a few times - the goal is to remove as much water as possible (without smushing them too much so they keep their shape).
- Assemble the pie. Set 5 tomato slices aside. Layer half of the remaining tomatoes on the bottom of pie. Spread half the spinach mixture on top of that. Repeat with the remaining tomatoes and spinach mixture. Place the five reserved tomato slices on top.
- Bake the tomato pie at 350 degrees F. for 35-40 minutes, or until browned and bubbly.
- Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before cutting the pie into 8 slices. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles, about 1 minute. Add spinach and sauté until completely wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Stir in olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Mix well and set aside.
- Open each sliced pita pocket and arrange 1 slice of cheddar cheese inside (You can tear the slice in half and overlap them to make it easier to fit in). Top with 3 tablespoons of the spinach filling, then layer with another slice of cheese on top.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium-low heat for 1 minute and use a silicone brush to brush with a little bit of oil. Place two stuffed pita halves on the hot pan at a time and cook until crispy and the cheese melts, about 2 minutes per side. Flip them over once and press down using the back of a flipper spatula.
- Repeat with the remaining pita pockets and serve warm.

Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top, brush with olive oil, and repeat process with two more sheets of phyllo. The sheets will overlap the pan. Spread spinach and cheese mixture into pan and fold overhanging dough over filling. Brush with oil, then layer remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with oil. Tuck overhanging dough into pan to seal filling.
