Ingredients/Substitution Ideas You can serve it for breakfast or for dinner. You can switch up the seasonings and types of cheeses. You can customize the ingredients by adding in other ingredients like bell peppers, green chiles, sauteed mushrooms or diced tomatoes. You can cook it in the Instant Pot, slow cooker or oven. You can prep it the night before or the day of. What makes this recipe even better is that it is flexible. The cottage cheese gives the eggs a creamy texture, similar to starbucks egg bites. It’s a classic breakfast casserole that combines crispy tater tots, scrambled eggs, 2 different types of cheeses, browned sausage and a secret ingredient…cottage cheese. This tater tot breakfast casserole is a delicious and hearty breakfast dish that is perfect for prepping the night before you want to enjoy it and it also feeds a crowd. One way that you can do this is work for your weekend (just like the song!) by preparing a weekend breakfast casserole ahead of time. One thing I love to do these days (as my kids have grown up and I have time to myself during the day time) is work ahead so that my weekends are relaxing and not jam packed with errands, chores and cooking.
