- 10 large eggs
- 36 tater tots
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) milk
- Shredded cheese
Protein and Vegetables:
- Breakfast sausage
- Diced bell pepper
Seasonings:
- Seasoning to taste
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400 degrees and thoroughly coat a standard muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Microwave tater tots until soft enough to mash, then place three tots into each muffin cavity.
- Use the bottom of a small cup to flatten the tots, creating a uniform base for the mini omelets.
- Bake the pressed tots for 10 minutes to develop a crispy foundation.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees after removing the tots.
- Prepare pre-cooked sausage links by dicing them into small pieces and dice bell peppers into uniform chunks.
- Distribute the sausage and bell pepper evenly across each muffin cup.
- Whisk eggs with milk and seasonings until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling approximately 90% to allow room for expansion during baking.
- Generously top each mini omelet with shredded cheese for added flavor and richness.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until eggs are completely set and cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before gently removing mini omelets from the pan.
Notes
- Prep ingredients in advance like microwaving sausage and chopping veggies to streamline morning cooking.
- Use pre-diced bell peppers from produce section for quick and easy vegetable addition.
- Smash tater tots before baking to create a crispy potato base that holds the omelet mixture.
- Fill muffin cups only 90% full to prevent overflow and allow room for egg expansion during baking.
- Customize with different meats, cheeses, and vegetables to keep breakfast exciting and varied.
- Store leftovers in refrigerator and reheat in microwave for quick grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
