Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese gruyère or cheddar
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon optional, chopped into 1-inch pieces

Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet or oven-safe sauté pan
  • Paper Towels
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Whisk
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and move the rack to the middle position
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Set aside
  3. If using bacon, cook in a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until crisp (8–10 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and remove all but 2 tablespoon of fat. If not using bacon, heat 2 tablespoon oil instead
  4. Return the pan to medium heat and add sliced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes
  5. Add the spinach and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 30–60 seconds until spinach begins to wilt
  6. Add the cooked bacon back into the pan, stir to combine
  7. Spread the mixture into an even layer and flatten with a spatula
  8. Sprinkle cheese over top
  9. Pour egg mixture over everything, tilting the pan slightly to distribute
  10. Cook for 2 minutes until eggs begin to set at the edges
  11. Transfer pan to oven and bake until eggs are fully set, about 10–12 minutes
  12. For a crisp top, broil for 60–90 seconds
  13. Let cool for 5 minutes, slice into wedges, and serve
