Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 large brown eggs
  • 2 cups of frozen mini tater tots
  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage crumbled
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 small white onion diced
  • 1/2 small red pepper diced
  • 1/2 small green bell pepper diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Add the frozen mini tater tots directly into a lightly greased deep pie dish. Spread them in an even layer and bake according to package instructions until fully cooked and crisp.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and, while the tots are still hot, use the bottom of a glass to lightly press and spread them into a thin, even crust that covers the bottom of the dish. (You an spray the bottom of the glass so it doesn't stock or use the back of a fork to press down gently)
  • Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbled, then set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and diced red and green peppers until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella, and shredded cheddar and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Fold in the cooked sausage, onions, and peppers until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the tater tot crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. Let it rest a few minutes before slicing and serving.
