2. 2
   Place drained tomatoes in an even layer on the bottom of the crust. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper if desired. Layer sliced onions on top of the tomatoes, and evenly distribute the minced garlic. Top with spinach and half the basil. (If doing variation with hash browns, layer them on top.)
