How to Make Breakfast Tater Tot Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Spread 2 cups of tater tots evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Top with 1 cup cooked, crumbled turkey sausage (or 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon).
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream and 4 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth.
  5. Whisk in 4 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and tater tots.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and the eggs are set. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving.
