Ingredients
  • 4 cups of tater tots
  • 1 dozen eggs
  • ¾ cup cream or milk
  • 1 to 2 cups crumbled bacon or ham or sausage or any combination of the 3
  • 1 to 2 cups grated cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°
  2. Grease a 9x13" baking pan and put the tater tots in it.
  3. Bake the tots for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
  4. While the tots are in the oven, grate the cheese, prepare the meat you're are using and scramble the eggs with milk and a little salt and pepper.
  5. After the tater tots have cooked for 10 minutes take them out and smash them evenly with the bottom of a cup or mason jar. The edges will creep up the sides of the pan to make a nice crust.
  6. Sprinkle them with a little salt and put them back in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. You want them to be getting brown and a little crispy. When you pull them out of the oven turn the oven down to 350°.
  7. Pour the scrambled eggs into the hot crust then sprinkle the bacon(or other meat) and cheese on top and return it to the oven for 20 to 30 minutes. When you can gently shake the pan and the eggs don't jiggle, it's done!
