Set a nonstick or cast iron pan to medium high heat.
Cook bacon on one side for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until crispy, another 2-3 minutes.
While bacon is cooking, crack your eggs into a bowl and add heavy cream, cheese, and a dash of salt and pepper.
Set bacon aside on plate lined with paper towels.
Pour egg mixture into pan, lowering heat if necessary.
With a plastic spatula (or metal if using a cast iron pan), stir egg mixture continuously until eggs are cooked but slightly wet looking.
Remove eggs from heat and plate with bacon, adding more salt and pepper to eggs if necessary.
