In a large mixing bowl, combine the bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, spinach, and half the shredded cheese.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x12 glass or ceramic baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs with the seasonings.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the mixture in the baking dish. Then, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm. Perfect for meal prep or brunch!
