Description
This Loaded Tot-Crusted Taco Quiche is the ultimate brunch-meets-game-day mashup. A golden layer of crispy tater tots forms the crust, holding a savory taco-spiced egg filling loaded with ground beef, melty cheese, and bold flavor. Finished with avocado, salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, it’s a comfort-packed, crowd-pleasing showstopper. Serve it hot, slice it thick, and let the compliments roll in.
Ingredients
3 cups frozen tater tots (thawed slightly)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb ground beef
1 tbsp taco seasoning
6 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
Salt & pepper to taste
Toppings (optional but recommended):
Diced avocado
Salsa or pico de gallo
Chopped cilantro
Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Press tater tots into a greased 9-inch pie dish, forming a crust. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp.
While crust bakes, sauté ground beef in olive oil until browned. Add taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Whisk eggs and milk in a bowl. Stir in cheese and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Layer beef into the baked tot crust, then pour egg mixture over the top.
Bake at 375°F for 25–30 minutes, or until center is set.
Cool slightly, then top with avocado, salsa, and any other toppings you love. Slice and serve!
