10 breakfast sausage links, choppedI used a 12 oz. package of Johnsonville breakfast sausage
8 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
5 green onions, chopped
3 cups grated cheddar cheese
For serving (optional):
Sour cream
Fresh salsa

Instructions
Cook bacon 'til crisp (easy method: 375 degree F oven, place bacon on lined baking sheets, bake for 15-18 minutes). Use the same method for cooking chopped sausage. Remove from oven and drain on paper towels. Chop bacon and set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Line bottom of baking dish with tater tots.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper. Add sausage. Stir in half of bacon, half green onions, and half cheese. Pour mixture evenly over tater tots.
Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until eggs are set. Sprinkle with remaining bacon, green onions, and cheese. Return dish to oven and cook for 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
Serve warm, slice into squares, and enjoy!
Notes
This can be made one day ahead and refrigerated. Assemble completely (including pouring egg over tots) and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in your refrigerator and bake at normal temp.Adapted from Southern Bite
