Take Frozen Tater Tots To Another Dimension With A Cheesy Breakfast Bake
By Alia Ali
If you're craving a warm breakfast different from the norm, there is a tater-tot-inspired cheesy casserole dish that will liven up your kitchen in the mornings.
One of the best things about tater tot breakfast bakes is that they can be assembled the night before, only needing you to pop them in the oven the next morning.
Start with a 32-ounce bag straight from the freezer and a custard that will bind these tots together. For this amount of tater tots, 12 eggs a half a cup of milk is ideal.
A higher proportion of eggs will result in a firmer hold, making it easier to slice. Add at least 1 cup of shredded cheese — think cheddar or jack for a gooey, mildly salty bite.
Add salt and pepper, stick it into a preheated 350°F oven for 45 minutes, and you'll have a delicious breakfast bake. From this basic recipe, you can add meats or vegetables.
