Breakfast Tots

By Chef Tessa Turcotte-Novosedlik

Ingredients:

• 1 recipe Cheesy Tater Tots, cooked
• 1 cup Bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 1/2 cups Cheddar, shredded
• 1 cup Whole Milk
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• Chopped Parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease an 8x8” baking dish. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, eggs, salt and pepper.
• In the greased 8x8” baking dish, place the cheesy tater tots in an even layer.
• Continue by sprinkling 1 cup of the cheese atop the tater tots then pour the egg and milk mixture atop.
• Place the breakfast casserole into the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• Once the eggs are cooked and set, sprinkle the remaining cheese and crumbled bacon atop the casserole. Return to oven and turn on the broiler setting for 1-2 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted. Remove from oven and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm.
