Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
Description
The Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole starts by lining a baking dish with frozen tater tots arranged in neat rows, creating a crispy potato base as they bake. The egg mixture whipped with milk combines with salt, pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled cooked bacon to form a savory custard that soaks into and around the tater tots. As it bakes uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, the eggs set firm while the cheese melts and the tater tots develop crunch along the edges.
This casserole offers a combination of crunchy, tender, cheesy, and smoky elements making it filling and flavorful. It serves well as a substantial breakfast or brunch centerpiece that can be portioned and reheated later.
The recipe accommodates scaling via adjustable serving sizes, and allows measurement conversion for convenience. Using high-quality bacon and freshly shredded cheddar enhances flavor. Cooking uncovered lets the top brown and the tater tots crisp evenly.
