Tater Tot Sausage Breakfast Casserole
A hearty casserole combining crispy tater tots, savory sausage, and melted cheese, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 450 g breakfast sausage
- 900 g frozen potato puffs
- 170 g cheddar cheese, shredded
- 60 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 6 large eggs
- 120 ml milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 30 g green onions, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until thoroughly browned. Drain the excess fat.
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 23 x 33 cm baking dish. Arrange the frozen potato puffs in an even layer over the base.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes until smooth and fully combined.
- Scatter the cooked sausage over the potato puffs. Pour the egg mixture evenly across the dish. Top with the shredded cheddar and mozzarella, distributing the cheeses uniformly.
Baking
- Transfer the baking dish to the oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the eggs are firm and the cheese is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it stand for several minutes. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top before serving, if desired.
Notes
Serve warm, optionally with sour cream or hot sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, or freeze portions for longer storage. To make spicier, use hot sausage or add jalapeños.
