Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 1 small onion, chopped
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pound bacon
• cooking spray
• 8 large eggs
• 1 pound bulk pork sausage
• 3 cups grated Colby-Jack cheese, divided

• 1.5 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
• 3.5 cups frozen bite-sized potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a 9x12-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 3

Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat and add sausage. Cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Crumble cooled bacon.

Step 4

Place potato nuggets in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, distributed evenly. Drizzle evenly with melted butter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of Colby-Jack cheese.

Step 5

Mix eggs, milk, onion, 1/2 of the bacon and sausage, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Pour into the baking dish. Add remaining Colby-Jack cheese, bacon, and sausage.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until set and cheese is melted, about 1 hour. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
