  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 oz turkey bacon, chopped

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 1 (32 oz) package frozen tater tots

  • 10 large eggs

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ¼ tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 4 scallions, chopped (white and green parts separated)

  • 1 (4 oz) jar diced pimientos, drained

  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley, plus more for garnish

  • 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese, divided


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook turkey bacon until crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

  • Spray a 13×9-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Arrange half of the tater tots in a single layer in the bottom of the dish.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  • Stir in chopped scallion whites, pimientos, parsley, 1½ cups of the cheese, and cooked turkey bacon.

  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tater tots in the casserole dish.

  • Arrange the remaining tater tots on top in a single layer, pressing them gently into the egg mixture.

  • Bake uncovered for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup of cheese.

  • Return to oven for 5–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

 

  • Garnish with chopped scallion greens and additional parsley before serving.
