Equipment

  • oven
  • casserole dish

Ingredients

  • 32 oz bag of frozen Tater Tots You can bake these straight from frozen.
  • 8 slices cooked crispy bacon, crumbles (or more to taste)
  • 8 eggs if small eggs use 10, if jumbo use 7
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese, divided I like to use Pepper Jack cheese for this, however you can use Monterey Jack, cheddar, chopped American cheese, chopped cooper sharp cheese, a shredded cheese blend or your favorite cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped onion optional (my family loved onions in everything!)
  • ½ cup scallions mix some in the mixture and save some for garnish.
  • S&P to taste I like a lot of black pepper, remember cheese is salty so go light on the salt.
  • few shakes onion powder
  • few shakes red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Grease baking dish with a little butter or spray.
  • Dup frozen Tater Tots into casserole dish 9 x13 or something similar works
  • Chop bacon and cook till crisp, blot on paper towels (or cook, cool and crumble).
  • In a bowl, whisk your eggs, milk and seasonings. Add in onion and or scallions, add in cheese.
  • Pour over Tater Tots.
  • Bake at 375 for 40-50 minutes or until done to your liking
  • Just before pulling from the oven top with additional cheese and bake till melted.
  • Garnish with scallions and if you like additional crispy bacon.

Notes

You can up the milk added by ¼ cup if you want to stretch the eggs further. I do recommend whole milk for this.
Depending on dish used (size and depth) you may want to add another egg and a lil milk if liquid seems low. This will also determine full bake time.
