Mini Breakfast Omelets (Egg Muffins With A Tater Tot Crust)

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and generously grease a standard size muffin pan.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Smash them with the bottom of a small cup, and then place them in the oven for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the tots from the oven and lower the temperature to 350 degrees.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Sprinkle the top with shredded cheese and bake for 20 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through.
