Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen tater tots
- 1½ cups diced ham
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Tater Tots: Spread the frozen tater tots evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish to form the base layer.
- Add Ham and Cheese: Sprinkle the diced ham evenly over the tater tots, followed by an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the baking dish, making sure it covers the tater tots, ham, and cheese thoroughly.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- You can substitute bacon or sausage for the ham to vary the flavor.
- For added flavor and nutrition, consider adding diced bell peppers or onions to the casserole.
- Check the label on your tater tots to ensure they are gluten-free if dietary restrictions require it.
