This bacon and tater tot breakfast quiche is scrump-TIOUS. It’s a twist on a bacon and egg casserole with a fun surprise – tater tots!

Start with a deep dish pie shell and line it with cooked tater tots. I like them to be nice and crispy! (In the photo below, I was checking to see about how many I was going to need to cook, so that’s why they look frozen.)

Don’t pack them in too tightly, as you want to leave room for all the rest of the ingredients.
Once you’ve got your cooked tater tots in the shell, sprinkle on chopped scallions, bacon, cheese and then pour the liquid ingredients over the top.


Bacon ‘Tater Breakfast Quiche
Ingredients
- 1 deep dish pie shell
- About 25 tater tots baked in advance
- 4 eggs
- 1 ½ cup light cream
- 10 sliced Oscar Mayer fully cooked bacon chopped
- ¼ cup cut scallions
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup Kraft shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line pie shell with cooked tater tots.
- Evenly spread chopped bacon over tater tots. Add chopped scallions. Top with shredded cheese; set aside.
- Whisk together cream, eggs, nutmeg and pepper. Pour mixture into pie shell to cover all ingredients, waiting a moment to give liquid a chance to soak down. (There may be a few tablespoons of liquid left over; discard.)
- Bake for about 55 minutes.

Now, I grew up with quiche, because both my grandmother and aunt cooked it, so I already love it and am familiar with it, especially around the holidays! But, I love this particular recipe, because it’s got 3 of my favorite ingredients-cheese, tater tots, and bacon! And, that Oscar Mayer fully cooked bacon is already pretty good on its won. How can I resist!
