Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  3. Using the same skillet, add spinach, roasted red peppers, and halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté until spinach is wilted and the tomatoes begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs for about 1-2 minutes until frothy.
  5. Fold the crispy bacon and sautéed vegetables into the whisked eggs. Crumble in the goat cheese and mix gently until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased oven-safe skillet and bake for about 22 minutes or until set and lightly golden.
  7. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into eight pieces and serving warm.
