Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Dice one medium onion.

Cook 8 pieces of bacon in a skillet until crispy.

Remove bacon and add sausage to the skillet, cooking fully.

Strain some of the bacon fat for health, but keep some to cook the veggies.

Add the diced onion and chopped spinach to the skillet with bacon fat and cook until softened.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 8 eggs and 3 cups of heavy cream.

Add Dijon mustard, sage, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of chicken bouillon powder to the egg mixture and mix well.

Grate Gruyere, sharp white cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses, adding some to the egg mixture and reserving some for topping.

Add the croissants to the egg mixture, mixing gently to combine without soaking too long.

Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish, topping with reserved cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes until golden brown and crispy on top.

Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Garnish with extra Parmesan, parsley, and crumbled bacon before serving.
