Preheat the oven to 400°F. While it heats, grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with butter and set it aside.
1 Tablespoon Butter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and pepper. Whisk it well until everything is nicely combined.
6 Eggs, 1¼ cup Milk, 1 teaspoon Salt and freshly ground black pepper
If using fresh sausage, add it to a pan with a tablespoon of maple syrup and cook it until it's browned and crumbled.
1 Tablespoon Maple syrup
In the baking dish, add the frozen tater tots, sausage crumbles, and 2 cups of the cheddar cheese, mixing it all up together.
28 oz Tater tots, 1 lb Breakfast sausage
Pour the egg mixture over top and give it a quick stir to combine everything, then cover it with the rest of the cheddar cheese.
3 cups Cheddar cheese
Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, then set to broil and cook for 3 minutes or until the top is browned and crispy.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parsley, and serve!
2 Tablespoons Parsley

You can use pre-cooked sausage crumbles, or cook up your own fresh sausage and crumble it. Both will be delicious!

This is a perfect make-ahead dish. Assemble it in the evening, then just pop it in the fridge and bake it the next morning!

I love throwing this ultra-easy casserole together the night before I have family over in the morning. Everyone devours it, and it makes breakfast easy!

Looking for even more flavor? Try adding some sauteed onions and green pepper! Or top the whole dish with sliced green onion for a little extra bite.

If you love egg casseroles, you'll love them even more if you use farm eggs. Check your area for anyone selling eggs; they're so worth it!
