Tater Tot Breakfast Skillet

Iris Warren

Report

The Tater Tot Breakfast Skillet is a hearty baked dish blending crispy bacon, sautéed onions and red bell peppers, and a creamy mixture of eggs, milk, and white cheddar cheese with frozen tater tots. Baking sets the eggs and melts the cheese, resulting in a rich, savory breakfast casserole with varied textures from crispy edges to tender, cheesy interior. Chives add a fresh, mild onion flavor as garnish. This skillet serves a comforting, filling start to the day or a brunch option.

Description

Tater Tot Breakfast Skillet begins by cooking chopped bacon in a skillet until crispy and fat is rendered, then sautéing diced onions, red bell peppers, and minced garlic until softened. Separately, eggs are whisked with whole milk, salt, pepper, and freshly grated white cheddar cheese. Frozen tater tots are stirred into this egg mixture before pouring everything back into the skillet over the cooked bacon and vegetable base. The assembled dish bakes at 350°F until eggs are set, and the cheese melts, uniting flavors and textures.

The combination of crispy bacon, sweet softened peppers and onions, creamy cheesy eggs, and tender but crisp tater tots delivers a balance of savory and comforting elements. The mild sharpness of white cheddar enriches the custardy eggs. Garnishing with fresh chives adds color and a subtle onion aroma that complements the richness. This skillet can be sliced to serve multiple portions, making it suitable for family breakfasts or brunch gatherings. It is best served immediately to enjoy the textural contrasts at their peak.

Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until just crispy and the fat is almost rendered. Stir in the onion, peppers and garlic. Cook until the vegetables soften and the bacon is fully crispy. Turn off the heat.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and cheese. Stir the tater tots into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture over top of the bacon and veggies in the skillet.
Bake the skillet for 35 to 45 minutes, until the eggs are set. Serve immediately.
