onion salt
6 large eggs
canola spray
2 cans green chilies from Trader Joe's
sour cream
tater tots
shredded three-cheese blend
1

Spray a 9x13 Pyrex dish with canola spray to prevent sticking.

2

Layer tater tots evenly at the bottom of the Pyrex dish without overlapping.

3

Open 2 cans of green chilies and layer them on top of the tater tots, using about half a can on each side and smoothing out any chunky spots.

4

Add a generous layer of shredded cheese over the green chilies, using almost an entire bag if desired.

5

If adding meat (like soy chorizo, bacon, or sausage), layer it before the cheese to allow it to melt in.

6

In a bowl, combine 6 large eggs and about half a tub of sour cream, mixing until smooth and free of clumps.

7

Season the egg and sour cream mixture with salt, onion salt, and pepper to taste, then mix well until combined.

8

Evenly pour the egg mixture over the layered tater tots, green chilies, and cheese, ensuring it seeps down into the layers.

9

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for better flavor.

10

The next morning, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, checking to avoid over-browning.
