Meaty Greek Frittata

8 eggs
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
7 slices of bacon, cut into small pieces with kitchen scissors
8 oz. bulk sausage, preferably not maple flavored
2 cups pre-cooked chicken, chopped into 1/2 in. pieces
1/2 large red onion, chopped finely
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, drained and chopped finely
1 cup spinach, chopped / 1/2 of 8 oz box, defrosted and squeezed of excess liquid
8 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
Additional Salt & Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350. Heat nonstick (oven proof) frittata pan on stove top at medium/high heat. Add bacon pieces and allow to crisp, stirring frequently. The bacon will seperate as it cooks, don't worry! Remove bacon and drain off all but approximately 3 TBSP of bacon fat.

Add onions to bacon drippings. Allow onions to soften for approximately 2 minutes, then add the sausage. Break sausage apart with a spoon and allow to brown. Mix eggs, whipping cream, salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until incorporated and not stringy.

Once sausage is browned and cooked through, add bacon back into skillet, along with chicken and sundried tomatoes. Allow chicken to begin to heat through for approximately 3 minutes, then break apart spinach and add to the pan. Stir to combine all ingrediants, add remaining salt, pepper, and italian seasoning.

Once stirred, add the egg mixture by pouring over ingrediants in the skillet. Spread ingrediants through egg mixture with a wooden spoon, until everything is evenly distributed. Sprinkle Feta cheese on the top of the egg mixture and push it down slightly with the back of your spoon.

Continue to cook on stovetop, without stirring, for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the sides of the frittata are set. (You can tell this by taking a spoon to the side of the pan, if the eggs stays together and pulls away slightly, you are good to go. If it just displaces the liquid, it needs a bit longer.)

Once sides are set, transfer frittata into the preheated oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until it is set in the middle. Remove to a cutting board and serve, hot, warm, or room temperature.
