Ingredients
- 5 strips bacon
- 1/2 cup white onion diced
- ½ cup green bell pepper diced
- Salt/Pepper to taste
- 9 large eggs
- ¼ cup sour cream at room temp
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/3 cup feta
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 3 cups frozen tater tots
To Garnish
- 3 green onions diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over low heat until crispy on each side.
- Set the bacon aside. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop it.
- Reserve 1 Tablespoon of the bacon grease in the pan and drain the rest.
- Heat the onions and peppers in the bacon drippings for 3 minutes over medium heat. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Crack the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk to create a foamy consistency. These are air pockets that make the eggs fluffy.
- Beat in the sour cream and milk until well-incorporated. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture into a lightly greased 9 x 13 casserole dish.
- Sprinkle the feta over the eggs, then the bacon, onions, and peppers. Note: You may want to reserve a little bit of bacon to garnish the top of the casserole with.
- Top with grated cheddar, then with the tater tots.
- Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, until the tater tots are crisp.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Top with diced green onions, serve, and enjoy!

Notes
- I love using Cabot Hot Habanero Cheddar Cheese on top of this casserole and recommend it if you like a little kick!
- The Tater Tots will sink into the egg mixture slightly, (this is fine!)- I like to position some tater tots on top of others so that they peek through the top without sinking down!

- Sun-Dried Tomatoes
- Caramelized Onions
