Tater Tot Egg Bake with SPAM

By Alice Seuffert

When the first spring day hits after a Minnesota winter, eager Minnesotans hit the outdoors like the waves of people at the Minnesota State Fair.   The sidewalks are filled, puddles are jumped in and brave souls break out their shorts.  While we celebrate we are cautious, knowing winter may very well return.  This Tater Tot Egg Bake is a great way to celebrate the emerging spring and be true to our winter roots of tater tots and casseroles.  This is a perfect dish to share at a potluck, a family gathering, or just a simple morning at home.

Ingredients:

1 package (32 ounces) Tater Tots, divided

12 Eggs

1 cup Whipped Cream Cheese

1/3 cup Half and Half

12 ounces SPAM (cubed)

2 cups Shredded Cheese, divided

2 tsp of Lawry’s Seasoned Salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400.

Grease a 9X13 pan and place half the tater tots on the bottom of the pan.

In a large bowl beat eggs, whipped cream cheese and Half and Half. Once combined, add cubed SPAM and 1 cup of cheese. Spoon egg bake mixture into the pan on top of the tater tots. Top mixture with remaining tater tots and seasoning salt, bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and top with remaining cheese, return to oven and bake an additional 5 minutes.
