Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature while assembling the casserole.
- Assemble Ham and Cheese: Grease a baking dish and evenly spread the diced ham followed by the shredded cheese to create the base layers of the casserole.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the ham and cheese layers in the baking dish.
- Top with Tater Tots: Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the egg mixture to add a crispy golden topping.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and the egg mixture is set.
