PIE TIIIE:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 15-by-10-inch baking pan with parchment paper and nonstick cooking spray.

5. Remove the omelet roll from the refrigerator, remove the plastic wrap, and slice it into 2-inch pieces.
6. Carefully dry any juice that may have escaped from the slaw with a paper towel before serving.
