Instructions
Preparation
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 until they are soft enough to smash. Arrange three tater tots in each muffin cup.
Smash the tater tots with the bottom of a small cup to form a crust, then bake them in the oven for 10 minutes.
Filling
Remove the tater tots from the oven and lower the temperature to 350 degrees.
Evenly distribute your chosen meat and veggies into each cup.
In a bowl, scramble together the eggs, milk, and seasonings. Pour the mixture evenly into each muffin cup until about 90% full.
Sprinkle the tops with shredded cheese and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the egg is cooked through.
Serving
These mini breakfast omelets are best served warm, right out of the oven.
Enjoy them on their own or pair them with fresh fruit or a side salad.
Notes
Allow omelets to cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. They freeze well for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds.
