Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of bacon grease over medium heat.

Add half a pound of smoked sausage, sliced into small pieces, to the skillet and cook until browned.

Slice zucchini into thin pieces and add to the skillet with the sausage.

Chop four mushrooms and add them to the skillet.

Chop half a cup of onion and add it to the skillet.

Add about four cups of bell peppers to the skillet.

Cook the mixture until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes, increasing the heat to medium-high to brown the sausage.

In a bowl, crack eight eggs and whisk them together.

Add half a cup of heavy cream to the eggs and mix well.

Season the egg mixture with salt, black pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper.

Temper the egg mixture by slowly adding a little of the hot sausage and vegetable mixture to the eggs while stirring to avoid cooking the eggs too quickly.

Combine the tempered egg mixture with the sausage and vegetable mixture in the skillet.

Add about a cup of shredded cheese to the mixture and stir to combine.

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x9 baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is golden.
