Ingredients:
- 36 tater tots (for a standard muffin pan)
- 10 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Shredded cheese (amount to taste)
- Seasoning to taste
- Meat & veggies of choice (I used breakfast sausage and diced bell pepper)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously grease a standard-sized muffin pan.
- Prepare the Tater Tot Crust:
Place the tater tots in the microwave for a few minutes, or until they are soft enough to smash. Then, place 3 tater tots in each muffin cup. Smash them with the bottom of a small cup to create a base, and then bake them in the oven for 10 minutes. - Lower the Oven Temperature:
Remove the tater tots from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). - Add Your Fillings:
Evenly distribute your choice of meat and veggies into each muffin cup. For this recipe, I used about 6 frozen sausage links, microwaved and diced ahead of time, along with pre-diced bell pepper. - Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a bowl, scramble the eggs with the milk and seasoning of your choice. Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling each cup about 90%. Be careful not to overfill, as the eggs will expand while baking. - Top with Cheese:
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each omelet. - Bake:
Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked.

Mini Breakfast Omelets

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.
