Gather ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels.
Spread bacon into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to cover. Spread potato nuggets over the bacon.
Beat eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; pour over the layer of potato nuggets.
Top with cheddar cheese and bake in the preheated oven until hot in the center, about 1 hour.
