Lighter Tater Tot Breakfast Bake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Step 2

Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces. Dice pepper and onion.

Step 3

Add the bacon to a frying pan, and sauté over medium high heat for about 10 minutes.

Step 4

The pieces will start to be crispy, but some will still be partially uncooked.

Step 5

Add the diced pepper and onion to the pan (do not drain the bacon fat).

Step 6

Cook the pepper and onion with the bacon pieces in the bacon fat for another 5 minutes.

Step 7

Spray the bottom and sides of a 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick spray.

Step 8

Add the cooked pepper, onion and bacon mixture to the bottom of the casserole dish, and spread it out on the bottom to cover the entire area.

Step 9

Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, egg whites, yogurt, garlic powder, and kosher salt.

Step 10

Whisk the mixture together to get rid of any clumps, and add 1 cup of the cheese (reserve 1/4 cup for the top) and the chopped scallions.

Step 11

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bacon, pepper and onion mixture.

Step 12

Add the still-frozen tater tots to the top of the casserole, covering the entire surface area.

Step 13

Add the remaining cheese on top.

Step 14

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the egg is set up.

Step 15

To reheat from the fridge: microwave to warm through (the tater tots might still be crispy this way) and then use the air fryer, toaster or oven to get it crispy again if needed.
