Recipe
1
Preheat Oven
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray 9×13 baking dish with avocado oil.
2
Prep
Cook meat if you’re adding it. Bacon and sausage are both amazing.
Saute onions and peppers until cooked through and onions are softened. Add garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds. If cooking meat you’ll add this to the meat after you’ve browned/cooked it.

Start the layers
Mix eggs and seasonings together (parsley, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper).
In your greased pan, add 1/2 the tater tots as your base.
Add the veggies, chilis, and 1/2 the cheese. Stir to combine.
Pour egg mixture. Then sprinkle the remaining tater tots.
4
Bake
Bake uncovered at 350 for 70-80 minutes or until eggs are hot. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Return to the oven and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and crisped a bit.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions if you like.
