Zutaten:
- 1 (24-ounce) bag tater tots
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 pound (450 g) bulk pork breakfast sausage (try homemade breakfast sausage)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 10 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more for the vegetables
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for the vegetables
- 6 ounces (170 g) sharp Cheddar, shredded (about 1 ½ cups)
Arbeitsschritte:
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
- Pile the tater tots on the baking sheet. Add the Cajun seasoning and toss to coat. Spread into a single layer and bake until hot and beginning to crisp, 25 to 30 minutes.
- While the tots bake, brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles until crispy in spots, 5 to 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet. (If there is excess fat, drain all but 1 tablespoon).
- Add the butter, bell peppers, and onions to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper; cook until the onions are soft and smell sweet, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper until well blended.
- Lower the oven temperature to 375°F. Line the bottom (and sides, if possible) of the prepared baking dish with the seasoned tater tots to create a crust. Scatter the sausage, vegetables, and 1 cup of the cheese over the tots. Pour the egg mixture over the top and give the dish a little shimmy to remove any air bubbles. Top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese.
- Bake until the eggs are set and no longer jiggle in the center, 35 to 40 minutes. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
