Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare Tater Tots: Arrange a single layer of frozen tater tots in a 12-inch cast iron skillet.

3. Layer Ingredients: Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon over the tater tots, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Create Wells for Eggs: Using a spoon, make 6–8 wells in the mixture, depending on how many eggs you plan to use.

5. Add Eggs: Carefully crack an egg into each well, ensuring not to break the yolk.

6. Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the egg whites are opaque.

7. Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Slice and serve warm.
