1 lb breakfast sausage, casings removed, crumbled
8 scallions, chopped, white\light green parts and dark green parts divided
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced, divided
8 cups fresh spinach, packed
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 cups whole milk
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
8 cups day-old country white bread
