Breakfast casserole
What's better than a breakfast casserole? A breakfast casserole topped with TATER TOTS, of course! Tater tots are really just bite-size hashbrowns, so topping a breakfast casserole with them is perfectly legit! Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole is loaded with veggies, scrambled eggs, cheese, and adorned with tater tots. Perfect for a weekend breakfast, a teen sleepover, or a holiday brunch.
This casserole starts with mushrooms, onions, and red and green peppers. Start by sauteing the mushrooms until caramelized. Add to the baking dish and then saute the onion and peppers until slightly softened. Add the onions and peppers to the baking dish.
Next, whisk the eggs and cream and add to the skillet. Cook gently, slowly scrambling the eggs. Remove the eggs when they are still slightly wet. Since the casserole bakes in the oven, the eggs will set up a little more during baking. Layer the scrambled eggs on top of the veggies. Top the eggs with shredded cheese. Last, but certainly not least, top with the Tater Tots, laying them side by side to cover the top of the casserole. Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes until tots are warmed through and crispy on top.
This casserole can be made in a 9x9 baking dish or in individual ramekins. Bacon or sausage can be added for a heartier, meaty casserole. Great for breakfast, brunch, or breakfast-for-dinner.
