Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

This morning I made a tater tot breakfast casserole. I have been meaning to try one of these for ages. Yum!

I didn't find a recipe that was exactly how i wanted it. I wanted the tots on top so they would get crispy. I looked up other recipes and then changed it up to make it my own.

This is a half recipe...

6 eggs
1/4 cup milk
butter
shredded swiss cheese
shredded cheddar cheese
salt
pepper
dry mustard
tater tots

Whip together the eggs and milk. Add salt, pepper and dry mustard. Pour it into a buttered 9 inch square casserole dish. Sprinkle on the cheese. Carefully place tots on top of the cheese. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

I made this one without meat but I think next time I will add sausage or bacon. I am also toying with the idea of added sauted onions to the egg. I want to experiment with the baking time too... it was a little overdone but it also sat in the oven for awhile after baking to keep it warm.

    Maybe some chives or green onion or bell pepper next time? Sounds delicious either way. :D

    I would definitely add the onions. I like that you put the tots on top to get crisp. I will definitely try this.

    Should the Milk and Eggs mixture consist more of eggs or milk? There isn't a measurement listed and I'm not a tip top cook who could make a guess. Thanks! - caroline
