Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup (75g) cooked bacon, crumbled (or cooked sausage, ham, or vegetarian alternative)
Base and Topping:
- 1 bag (28 oz/800g) frozen tater tots
- 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)
- ¼ cup (30g) diced bell peppers (optional)
- ¼ cup (30g) chopped green onions
Liquid and Seasoning:
- ¼ cup (60ml) milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Evenly distribute frozen tater tots across the baking surface, creating a compact, golden-brown foundation that mimics a crispy pizza crust.
- Heat the tater tots in the oven until they transform into a golden, crunchy base with slightly crisp edges, ensuring a solid platform for additional toppings.
- Carefully crack eggs directly onto the pre-baked tater tot layer, spacing them evenly to guarantee each slice will have a perfect egg portion.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the eggs, allowing it to melt and create a creamy, luxurious blanket that binds the ingredients together.
- Scatter crispy bacon bits or diced ham across the surface for an additional layer of savory protein and textural complexity.
- Return the assembled breakfast pizza to the oven, baking until egg whites set completely and cheese melts into a glossy, appetizing finish.
- Remove from oven and garnish with fresh chopped chives or green onions, adding a bright, herbaceous note that cuts through the richness of the dish.
- Let the breakfast pizza rest for a few minutes to allow ingredients to settle, then slice and serve immediately while everything remains warm and inviting.
Notes
- Press tater tots gently but firmly to create a solid, even crust that holds together well during baking and serving.
- Let the tater tot crust cool for a few minutes after initial baking to help it set and become more stable before adding additional toppings.
- Choose thick-cut, high-quality frozen tater tots for the best texture and crispiness in your breakfast pizza base.
- For a gluten-free version, confirm that your tater tots are certified gluten-free and use compatible cheese and toppings.
