  1. Roasting peppers: Coat with all but 2 Tbsp of olive oil and choice seasoning. (we used The Olive Twist Herb Dipping Blend and Tuscan Herb Olive Oil) Roast under 400 degree broiler for 30-40 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered. Place in a plastic grocery bag with a paper towel and let cool. Once cool to touch, peel the skin and remove stem and seeds. Dice, chop, slice to whatever desired shape for the dish.
  2. Whisk together eggs milk and seasoning. Add bagel pieces. Transfer to prepared baking dish, add roasted red peppers, spinach, ham and half the cheese. Fold to incorporate. Top with remaining cheese. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Use 2 Tbsp of the olive oil to coat a 2-quart baking dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove dish from refrigerator and let rest 20 minutes before placing in oven. Uncover dish and bake 55-65 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
Recipe Notes

The Oil and Seasonings can be swapped out easily in this recipe.  Make it spicy? Mediterranean?  You can also use any day old bread instead of bagels.  Other substitutes could be asparagus instead of spinach, or sausage for ham.
