Description

These Cheesy Breakfast Tater Tot Casserole Cups are a delicious blend of crispy tater tots, savory sausage, and gooey cheddar cheese baked to perfection. Perfect for breakfast or brunch!

Ingredients

  • Frozen Tater Tots – 32 oz (about 900g)
  • Cooked Breakfast Sausage – 1 cup, crumbled
  • Cheddar Cheese – 1 cup, shredded
  • Eggs – 6 large
  • Milk – 1/2 cup
  • Seasonings – 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Diced Bell Peppers – 1/2 cup
  • Chopped Green Onions – 1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent the casserole cups from sticking.
  3. Layer the Tater Tots: Place the frozen tater tots in each muffin cup, pressing them down gently to form a base.
  4. Add the Sausage and Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled cooked sausage over the tater tots, then top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
  6. Pour the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the tater tots, sausage, and cheese, filling each muffin cup to the top.
  7. Top with Veggies: Finish by sprinkling the diced bell peppers and chopped green onions over the top of the egg mixture.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tops are golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole cups to cool for a few minutes before gently removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

The key to achieving the perfect tater tot casserole cups is to ensure the tater tots are pressed firmly into the muffin cups, creating a sturdy base that can support the egg and cheese mixture. Additionally, be mindful not to overfill the cups, as this can cause the egg to spill over during baking.
