Description

A comforting breakfast bake combining crispy tater tots, smoky bacon, and a fluffy egg custard, all topped with melted sharp cheddar cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 oz frozen tater tots
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 lb thick-cut bacon
  • 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Fry the bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Spread a single layer of frozen tater tots across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing them down slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  5. Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon and 1.5 cups of cheddar cheese over the bottom layer of potatoes.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese, ensuring it covers the ingredients evenly.
  7. Top the mixture with the remaining tater tots and the remaining 1.5 cups of cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing into squares.
