Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

This cozy Sausage, Egg and Cheese Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole is perfect for an easy breakfast to feed the family or guests.

It’s a savoury french toast bake, filled with day-old bread, sausage, eggs and cheese. Then it’s topped with crispy tater tots and a dash of hot sauce.

This delicious, savory breakfast casserole is perfect for entertaining a larger crowd for brunch or maybe when family comes to visit? I know I’m planning on remaking this during the summer when we’ll have some visitors for a week.

Here’s a bonus – it can easily be prepared the night before and popped into the oven in the morning for a no hassle breakfast!

Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

This casserole is sort of like a bread pudding, but in a savory fashion.

Cut up a bunch of day-old bread and layer it with sausage and cheese, then pour the whisked eggs over top. Let it sit overnight (or you can use fresh bread and bake right away). I especially love the layering, it means there is plenty of cheese and sausage all throughout and not just on top.

I would serve it with some freshly sliced green onions, a dollop of sour cream, and a few dashes of hot sauce.

It’s a filling breakfast your whole family will love!

We even wrapped some of this casserole up in tortillas the next day for a breakfast casserole taco!

So good!

• Lightly spray a 9"x13"x2" casserole pan with non stick spray.

• Fill the bottom of the casserole dish with half of the crusty bread. Then top with half of the cooked sausage and half of the cheese. Sprinkle with half of the black pepper. Repeat with the remaining bread, sausage, cheese and pepper.
• Pour the egg mixture all over the casserole dish. Cover and place in fridge for 8 hours.
• In the morning preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Notes

If you want to make this casserole without the overnight directions, use fresh bread instead of crusty bread. Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes to soak up the egg mixture before topping with tater tots and baking.
