Now this recipe is a great one for breakfast or brunch but we are making it for dinner
This is a great way to combine the breakfast for dinner idea with the ease of a one dish casserole
Best part is once you have the basic idea from this recipe you can tweak it anyway you like to suit your family’s tastes
Let’s start off with some tater tots
I poured enough into a standard Pyrex baking dish to get a feel for how much I needed
This came out to four cups of tots
Preheat your oven to 425 F and lay the tots on a sheet pan and spread them out so they cook quicker
Cook 12-15 minutes
Then flip and cook another 10 or until they are golden brown and crispy
Remove from the oven and set aside
While the tots are cooking I’m going to place an 8 ounce ham steak in a hot pan over medium high heat and cook for 3-4 minutes
Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes then remove from the heat and set aside
Next we will need 12 eggs, 1/2 cup of heavy cream (or milk), 8 ounces of cheddar cheese, 3 scallions, 3 ounces of sundried tomatoes, 1 teaspoon each of kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder
The sundried tomatoes are optional
I like them for their taste and the color they add but if your kids aren’t a fan go ahead and leave them out
In a large bowl add in the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder
Whisk everyone together
Chop the scallions and tomatoes
Add them to the bowl
Slice the ham steak then cut into cubes
Add this to the bowl as well
Grate the block of cheddar cheese
Add the cheese to the bowl
Fold to combine
Next chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and fold this into the mixture as well
Preheat the oven to 350 F
Spray the baking dish with cooking oil
Add in the tater tots in a single layer and press down gently with the palm of your hands to form a crust
Pour in the egg mixture and spread it around evenly
Place it in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes
Remove when the eggs have set and a knife comes out clean when inserted
Place on a cooling rack and allow to rest for 10-12 minutes before serving
Whether for breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner your family is sure to love this dish!
Enjoy!!!
