Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and render until the bacon is crispy. Remove the bits with a slotted spoon from the pan onto paper towels to absorb excess grease.
Place the eggs and cream or half-in-half into a large mixing bowl, then season with salt and black pepper. Whisk until the eggs are well beaten.
Next, stir in the bacon bits, chopped sausage, diced peppers, chopped chives, and grated cheddar cheese. Pour this mixture into the lined slow cooker.
Close the slow cooker lid and cook on the ‘high’ heat setting for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until the eggs are set. Garnish with more chives before serving, if desired.
