Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground mild pork sausage
1 cup chopped green onion
1 (28-ounce) bag extra-crispy frozen tater tots, thawed and divided
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese with peppers, divided
10 large eggs
1½ cups whole milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (7-ounce) jar diced pimientos, drained
Garnish: chopped green onion, ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add green onion; cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Spoon sausage mixture into prepared pan. Add 2 cups tater tots and 1½ cups cheese, stirring to combine.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in pimientos. Pour egg mixture over sausage mixture. Arrange remaining tater tots over filling.
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Bake until golden brown and set and until a food thermometer inserted in center registers 160°, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 2 to 5 minutes more. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onion and pepper, if desired.
