Equipment

Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
- 16 oz frozen tater tots

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with olive oil spray.
- Make the egg mixture: Crack 8 eggs into the greased baking dish. Add the cottage cheese, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until combined.
- Add the tater tots: Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the egg mixture.
- Add the cheese topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.
- Bake uncovered for 35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set in the center, the cheese is melted, and the tater tots are golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy! Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before digging in.
Notes
- Mix everything together in the baking dish: I mixed all the ingredients directly in the baking dish to save me an extra step!
- Baking times may vary: Make sure your eggs are cooked through before serving. Check that the center is set and no longer liquid. If it's still runny, continue baking for a few more minutes.
- If you find this casserole to be too mild or bland, you can drizzle some hot sauce on top to add more flavor.
