For a vegetarian option, substitute the ham with sautéed mushrooms or spinach. If you don't have a glass pie dish, a metal one will work, but keep a close eye on the crust to prevent burning. For a richer flavor, try using Gruyere or Swiss cheese in place of the Cheddar. The crust can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before filling and baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepMake the crust: Place potato nuggets in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until *just* thawed but still firm, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add melted butter and salt; mash together coarsely, leaving some texture. Press evenly and firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch glass pie dish. (10 minutes)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. (25 minutes)
04
StepRemove the crust from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (2 minutes)
05
StepMake the filling: In a medium bowl, combine Cheddar cheese, diced ham, Parmesan cheese, and flour. Toss to coat. (5 minutes)
06
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Stir in milk, diced onion, diced bell pepper, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Pour the egg mixture into the cheese mixture and stir gently until just combined. (5 minutes)
07
StepPour the filling evenly over the baked Tater Tot crust. (2 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean. (45 minutes)
09
StepRemove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving. (15 minutes)

Apr 20, 2025The crust was a little soggy for me. Next time, I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer before adding the filling.
