Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Spread 2 lb of frozen tater tots evenly in the baking dish.

In a bowl, whisk together 8 eggs.

Add 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the eggs and mix.

Add half of the cooked bacon, half of the shredded colby jack cheese, and half of the chopped green onions to the egg mixture and stir to combine.

Pour the egg mixture over the tater tots, spreading it out evenly with a fork if necessary.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tater tots are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and top with the remaining bacon, cheese, and green onions.

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
