By carol gorman

"A yummy breakfast dish that's quick to throw together and great for guests or for Christmas morning."

Ingredients

• 1 pound bacon, diced
• 1 (32 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
• 12 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels.

Spread bacon into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish to cover. Spread potato nuggets over the bacon.

Beat eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; pour over the layer of potato nuggets; top with Cheddar cheese.

Bake in preheated oven until hot in the center, about 1 hour.
