Ingredients
  

  • 1 32 oz bag frozen tater tots
  • 1 lb cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced (about 1 cup)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 tsp dried
  • 1 1/2 cups grated gruyere
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and spread half the tater tots in an even layer.
  2. Sauté onion in butter and olive oil over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and thyme; cook until mushrooms have released liquid and it evaporates, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Scatter the mushroom mixture over the tots. Sprinkle 1 cup gruyere over mushrooms. Top with remaining tots and the last 1/2 cup gruyere.
  4. Whisk eggs and milk together; pour evenly over the casserole. Press gently so liquid reaches tots.
  5. Bake uncovered 35–40 minutes until set and golden on top. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
