Ingredients

12 large eggs at room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream at room temperature (or half & half, whole milk, 2% milk can be used but it won't be as creamy)

4 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes, at room temperature
2 fresh jalapeno pepper sliced (pickled, jarred jalapenos can be used)

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cream, cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
