Tater Tot Casserole Ingredients

Bacon– You could also cook and crumble 1/2 lb. breakfast sausage, casings removed Onions Bell Peppers– Green blends really well in this casserole Eggs Sour Cream– The secret to extra creamy eggs Milk– or half and half for extra indulgence Feta Cheese– This blends really well into this casserole Cheddar Cheese– I love using Hot Habanero Cheddar Cheese for a kick! Tater Tots– Frozen

Green Onions– To garnish

Optional Additional Ingredients Include:

Mushrooms Spinach Cherry Tomatoes Sun-Dried Tomatoes Caramelized Onions

Gruyere, Mozzarella, or Gouda Cheese

☝️ See how the top of the whisked eggs have a foamy/frothy top? Those are air pockets from vigorous whisking and will give you extra fluffy eggs, especially if baked right away.

Make-Ahead Method

Assemble casserole as instructed, but wait on adding the frozen tater tots until just before baking. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Let it sit out for 10 minutes prior to baking.

Freezing Unbaked Breakfast Casserole

Yes, this is possible!

Assemble the casserole (except for the tater tots). Cover tightly with foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Let it defrost in the fridge overnight.

Let it sit out for 10 minutes. Top with Tater Tots and bake!

Storing Leftovers

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and are best if eaten within 3 days. Reheat leftovers in a 350° oven until heated through, about 20-25 minutes. You can also freeze leftovers for 3-4 months. I like wrap portion sizes in foil and store them in a labeled freezer bag. Let frozen leftovers thaw in the fridge overnight prior to reheating in the oven.
