Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 2-cup oven-safe baking dish with a tiny bit of the olive oil. In a small bowl, mix the ground pork with the sage, fennel seed, and smoked paprika. In a small skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork mixture, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, for 5 to 6 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Stir in the spinach and cook for 1 minute until wilted. Done when opaque and cooked through, 160°F.
Transfer the filling to a sieve set over a bowl and press with a spoon to drain any excess liquid or fat. Let the mixture cool in the sieve for 2 minutes. Transfer the drained mixture back to the baking dish and toss with half the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites and the whole egg with the remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage in the baking dish, stirring gently to combine. Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the center no longer jiggles and a knife comes out clean. Done when the center is set and no longer jiggles, 160°F.
