Breakfast Casserole with Bacon
Description
The Breakfast Casserole with Bacon begins by covering the base of a baking dish with frozen potato tots. An egg and milk mixture combined with crumbled cooked bacon and shredded cheddar is poured over the tots, seasoning with salt and black pepper. The remaining bacon and cheese are scattered on top before the dish is baked until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
The resulting casserole features a crispy potato foundation softened by the custard filling, with smoky bacon flavor and creamy cheddar cheese interspersed throughout. The fresh topping of diced tomatoes, avocado, and sliced chives brings a fresh, cool element that complements the richness of the casserole.
No need to thaw the tots before assembling, simplifying prep. This dish works well served fresh from the oven and can be customized by swapping sausage for bacon if preferred. The topping adds a fresh contrast and can be spooned over individual servings.
