Mini Omelets: Easy, Delicious, and Perfectly Portable!
Looking for a tasty breakfast option that’s both convenient and customizable? These Mini Omelets are perfect for meal prep or a fun weekend brunch. With a base of crispy tater tots and a flavorful mix of eggs, cheese, and your favorite fillings, these little bites pack a punch of flavor. Plus, they’re super easy to make!
Ingredients:
- 36 tater tots (for a standard muffin pan)
- 10 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Shredded cheese
- Seasoning to taste
- Meat & veggies of choice (I used breakfast sausage and diced bell pepper)
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Generously grease a standard-size muffin pan.
- Prepare the Tater Tots:
- Microwave the tater tots for a few minutes until they are soft enough to smash.
- Place 3 tater tots in each muffin cup.
- Smash them with the bottom of a small cup to form a base.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling:
- Remove the muffin pan from the oven and lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Evenly distribute your meat and veggies into each cup. For my version, I used about 6 frozen sausage links, microwaved and diced, and pre-diced bell peppers.
- Make the Egg Mixture:
- In a bowl, scramble together 10 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, and your favorite seasoning.
- Pour the mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about 90% full. The eggs will expand as they cook, so avoid overfilling.
- Add Cheese and Bake:
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each cup.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the egg is cooked through and the tops are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the mini omelets to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin pan.

Ingredients
36 tater tots (for a standard muffin pan)
10 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
Shredded cheese
Seasoning to taste
Meat & veggies of choice (I used breakfast sausage and diced bell pepper)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and generously grease a standard size muffin pan.
Place the tater tots in the microwave for a few minutes or until they are soft enough to smash, then place 3 in each muffin cup.
Smash them with the bottom of a small cup, and then place them in the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove the tots from the oven and lower the temperature to 350 degrees.
Evenly distribute your meat and veggies into each cup. I used about 6 frozen sausage links that I microwaved and diced ahead of time, as well as pre-diced bell pepper that I found in the produce section at my local grocery store.
Scramble the eggs, milk and seasoning together and then pour the mixture evenly into each cup. I was able to fill each cup up about 90% with 10 eggs. I wouldn’t make them any fuller than that as they do expand in the oven.
Sprinkle the top with shredded cheese and bake for 20 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through.
