5. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Remove 11⁄4 cups of egg mixture and reserve for use later.

6. Tear bagels into bite-sized pieces and fold into egg mixture. Add in pepper, sausage, bacon, 1 1⁄2 cups shredded cheese, and baby spinach. Fold everything together, then pour into a greased 9x13” baking dish. Pour the reserved egg mixture over the top.

7. Bake for 35 minutes, then sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese on top and bake for another 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.
