Ingredients

Scale

Tater Tot Base

  • 36 tater tots (for a standard muffin pan)

Omelet Filling

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • Seasoning to taste (salt, pepper, garlic powder)
  • 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the omelet cups.
  2. Prepare Muffin Pan: Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan to prevent sticking. Arrange 3 tater tots in the bottom of each muffin cup, pressing them slightly to form a base and a small wall around the edges.
  3. Mix Omelet Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, shredded cheese, seasoning, cooked sausage, and diced bell peppers until well combined.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the tater tot bases in the muffin pan, filling each cup almost to the top.
  5. Bake Omelets: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the mini omelets to cool for a few minutes before gently removing them from the muffin cups. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the fillings with your favorite meats and vegetables such as ham, bacon, mushrooms, or spinach.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and add extra veggies or cheese.
  • Make sure the tater tot base is pressed firmly to hold the egg mixture and prevent leaks.
  • These mini omelets can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
  • Use non-stick spray or lightly oil the muffin pan well to ensure easy removal.
