Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a baking sheet with foil to catch grease from the bacon.

Place bacon on the lined baking sheet and bake in the oven.

Squeeze sausage out of its casing into a pan and cook until browned.

Add 2-3 handfuls of freshly washed spinach to the pan with a pinch of salt to remove moisture.

Check on the bacon in the oven.

Remove spinach with a slotted spoon and drain excess moisture.

Add 2 cups of heavy cream to a bowl with 12 cracked eggs and whisk together.

Season the egg mixture with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg, then whisk until combined.

Grate 1 pound of Swiss cheese and set aside.

Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool before chopping into pieces.

Grease a casserole dish with butter, ensuring all areas are covered.

Chop the spinach roughly and layer it at the bottom of the greased casserole dish.

Crumble the cooked sausage and layer it over the spinach.

Pour a layer of the egg mixture over the spinach and sausage.

Sprinkle a layer of grated Swiss cheese on top.

Crumble the bacon over the cheese layer.

Repeat the layering process with more eggs, sausage, and cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with the egg mixture on top.

Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 45 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

After 45 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a minute before cutting into it.

Slice green onions thinly and garnish the casserole before serving.
