Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups frozen tater tots
  • 1 ½ cups diced ham
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or fresh herbs
  • Non-stick spray or butter (for greasing the bundt pan)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a bundt pan with non-stick spray or butter to ensure easy removal. Dice the ham, shred the cheese if needed, and chop any additional veggies or herbs you want to include.
  2. Assemble the Casserole: Evenly spread the frozen tater tots along the bottom and sides of the bundt pan, creating a crispy shell. Layer the diced ham, shredded cheese, and any optional veggies evenly over the tots to distribute flavor throughout.
  3. Mix the Egg Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined and slightly frothy. Pour this mixture gently over the layered ingredients in the bundt pan, allowing it to seep into every nook and cranny.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tater tots turn golden and crispy. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife; it should come out clean.
  5. Cool and Unmold: Let the casserole cool in the bundt pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a serving plate. This resting time helps the casserole hold together and slice beautifully.

Notes

  • Use frozen tater tots and keep them frozen until just before assembling for extra crunch after baking.
  • Don’t overfill the bundt pan; leave space for the egg mixture to expand without spilling.
  • Allow the casserole to rest for about 10 minutes before removing to make slicing easier.
  • Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley, chives, or other herbs after baking for added flavor and color.
  • A sharp cheddar cheese adds depth and cuts through the richness.
