Instructions
  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.

  1. TIP: COLD INGRDIENTS! Do not over handle dough. Place olive oil in a container to freeze 3-4 hours minimum. The consistency should resemble honey when solidified. Place solidified oil, flour, salt and baking powder in food processor and pulse a few times. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until dough balls forms. Place ball in air tight container or plastic wrap and put in fridge for 1 hour to chill. Lightly flour surface, roll ball out to 1/8 inch thick and place in a pie plate. (beginners tip, try rolling between 2 sheets of lightly floured waxed paper) For a cream pie, lightly bake, for a regular pie, put in the filling and BAKE!
Recipe Notes

Twists:  Use Tuscan Herb olive oil for a savory crusted pot pie or quiche.  Lime or Lemon oils for a meringue pie.  Exchange the balsamic vinegars to match the pie:  blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, coconut, red apple, cinnamon pear - great for pumpkin!
