Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage with diced onion until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the casserole: Spread the cooked sausage mixture evenly in the prepared dish. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, then pour the egg mixture over the top. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tater tots are golden and crispy.
- Rest and garnish: Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with green onions or parsley if desired.
Notes
- You can assemble this casserole the night before and refrigerate it, then bake in the morning.
- Try adding bell peppers, spinach, or swapping sausage for bacon or ham for variation.
