Breakfast veggie tot casserole

I'm seriously in love with the Green Giant Veggie tots. All varieties are wonderful cooked in the air fryer, however I love finding ways to make-over recipes, using healthier ingredients. So I decide to give the tater tot breakfast casserole a make-over using the veggie tots. I used the Broccoli veggie tots, but you could use any of the flavors. This was delicious!! It keeps well for several days in the fridge, making a quick easy breakfast by just popping a serving in the microwave. This is a go-to fav in our breakfast rotation.
