Lightly butter an 8 or 9-inch spring-form pan.  Roll out puff pastry
one-quarter inch thick.  Line bottom and sides of pan with the pastry. Seal

Refrigerate pan and pastry circle for top. To prepare omelet filling: Heat
olive oil and butter in a large skillet. Add garlic and spinach, saute
together until wilted. Continue heating until water is evaporated. Season
with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Remove to a plate and refrigerate.

in an 8 or 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Pour one-half of the egg
mixture into skillet.  Be sure to loosen edges while omelet is cooking.
When set, remove omelet to a platter.  cook a second omelet with remaining
butter and egg mixture.

refrigerator. Layer in pan 1 omelet, one-half of the cooked spinach,
one-half of the shredded cheese, and one-half of the meat.  Add all the red
pepper and olives.  Repeat layering in reverse order using remaining
ingredients.  Cover omelet with reserved pastry circle and seal to side
pastry by pinching dough together with fingers. With the tip of a paring
knife, evenly mark 8 slits in the pastry top.  Brush with beaten egg. Set
