Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream optional
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 2-3 fresh jalapeno peppers
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a non-stick skillet, fry the bacon. When it's done, remove it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain and cool off. Leave the bacon grease in the skillet with the heat on medium-low.
  • Set your oven on broil and move a rack to the top.
  • While the bacon is cooking, slice the peppers into thin rings and remove the seeds. Set them aside.
  • Whisk together the eggs, cream (if using) and salt. Pour into the hot skillet.
  • When the sides of the frittata begin to firm up, place the pepper rings gently on top of the eggs in a concentric circle pattern, starting on the outside edge and working your way to the center. Place a dollop of cream cheese inside every pepper ring.
  • Crumble the bacon on top of the frittata and sprinkle with the cheddar.
  • If your nonstick skillet has a plastic handle, wrap a piece of aluminum foil around the handle at least 3 times. Make sure that the foil is long enough to cover the entire handle from base to end.
  • Place under the broiler until the cheese is melted and the eggs are set, 1-2 minutes.
