Instructions

Slice your rolls in half and lay the bottom halves in a greased 9X13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese over top of the rolls. Next, layer the ham, green onion, red pepper, and spinach over top, one at a time. Lay the top halves of the rolls on top.
In a medium size bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over the rolls in the baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator 6-8 hours or overnight.
In the morning, take the dish out the fridge and remove the plastic wrap. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Pull out of the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese on top of the rolls. Return to the oven and continue baking an additional 15 minutes.
