Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz. bacon
  • 8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 10 eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 32 oz. frozen tater tots
  • oil/butter for greasing the baking dish
  • Kosher salt
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Arrange bacon on a parchment/foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until it's cooked through and crisp. Set aside to cool, then crumble.
  4. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.
  5. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with olive oil or butter.
  6. Add bacon, cheese, ham, red pepper, green onion, garlic powder, and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper to the baking dish.
  7. Stir to combine.
  8. Add eggs, heavy cream, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl.
  9. Whisk until well combined.
  10. Pour over the veggie/meat mixture in an even layer.
  11. Add frozen tater tots, spreading them in an even layer on top of the eggs. They will overlap - that's okay.
  12. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the eggs are set.
  13. Garnish with fresh parsley, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

  • You'll know the eggs are done when a knife inserted into the center of the casserole comes out clean and the eggs look "set" and not jiggly.
  • This egg casserole can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Just wait to add the frozen tater tots until just before baking.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave or in a saute pan with a lid over medium-high heat.
  • Substitute whatever you'd like for the veggies, cheese, and meats. Just keep the measurements the same and the casserole will turn out great every single time!
