Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Tater Tot Quiche Bake.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
For the crust, take a large microwave-safe bowl and toss in the frozen potato nuggets.
Step 3
Microwave them for 1 to 2 minutes until they’re thawed.
Step 4
Next, mix in melted butter and a pinch of salt, then mash the nuggets until they resemble a crumbly texture.
Step 5
Press this potato mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a glass pie dish to create a sturdy crust.
Step 6
Bake this crust in your preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 7
Once it’s done, carefully remove the crust from the oven and lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Now, let’s whip up the filling.
Step 9
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded Cheddar cheese, diced ham, grated Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of flour.
Step 10
Give it a good mix.
Step 11
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they’re smooth and creamy.
Step 12
Stir in milk, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder, blending everything together.
Step 13
Pour this flavorful mixture over the cheese and ham blend, stirring until all ingredients are harmoniously combined.
Step 14
Pour the filling over your pre-baked potato crust, spreading it out evenly.
Step 15
Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and boasts a beautiful golden top.
Step 16
Once baked to perfection, take the quiche out of the oven and allow it to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing into it and serving.
Step 17
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s sure to impress at any gathering!.
