Once you have completed this step, place the pie pan in a large baking tray and place in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Please note that the total time of this recipe assumes that you have previously made the roasted heirloom tomatoes. If you do not have them made or do not have the time, you can substitute with sun dried tomatoes or raw tomatoes in place of the roasted tomatoes.
While the crust is baking, chop the green onion, roasted red pepper, provolone cheese slices and mint. By this time, 10 minutes should have passed and it is time to take the sausage crust out of the oven. Set it aside while preparing the egg mixture.
Take a medium-sized bowl and crack 6 eggs into the bowl and add the sea salt and black pepper. Add all of the chopped ingredients including the tomatoes.
