# Ingredients:

→ Hearty Base

01 - 32 oz frozen tater tots
02 - 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
03 - 8 large eggs
04 - 1 cup whole milk
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
07 - 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (optional)
08 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
09 - 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese
10 - 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
11 - Butter or nonstick spray for greasing

# Steps:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to ensure easy serving and prevent sticking.
02 - Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single, even layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. This creates a crispy, golden base.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and dry mustard (if using) until smooth and well combined.
04 - Sprinkle the cooked and crumbled bacon evenly over the layer of tater tots.
05 - Spread the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack (or pepper jack) cheeses evenly over the bacon layer.
06 - Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the dish, ensuring the mixture fills in the spaces between the tater tots.
07 - If desired, sprinkle chopped green onions over the top for added flavor and color.
08 - Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, until the eggs are completely set and the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
09 - Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.

# Tips:

01 - Allowing the casserole to rest helps it set and provides cleaner slices during serving.
