Air Fryer Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
Description
Savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and melty cheddar under crispy golden tater tots — a comforting breakfast bake made entirely in the air fryer. Perfect for holiday mornings, weekend brunch, or an easy breakfast-for-dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 8 large eggs
- ¾ cup half and half
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 pound frozen tater tots
Instructions
- In a small skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until no longer pink. Drain the grease and set aside.
- Lightly spray an air-fryer-safe baking dish with cooking oil. Spread the sausage in an even layer over the bottom.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, half and half, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour over the sausage and top with the shredded cheddar.
- Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese — do not submerge them. Air fry at 360°F for 10–15 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the air fryer and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
