Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen tater tots
- ½ pound ground breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup low fat cottage cheese (2%)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese
- Freshly chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish with butter. Place the frozen tater tots in the prepared pie plate. Spread out evenly. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
- When finished cooking, mash the tater tots into an even layer so they cover the bottom and sides of the pie dish.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, fully cook and crumble the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and allow to cool down a bit.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir in the mozzarella cheese and the slightly cooled-down sausage. Stir to combine. Pour this mixture evenly over the tater tots in the pie dish.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the center of the quiche is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Top with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
