Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 10 large eggs
  • 36 tater tots
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Shredded cheese cheddar or colby jack
  • Seasonings to taste
  • Choice of fillings sausage, bell peppers, or other preferred options

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray, making sure to coat the sides of each cup well.
  • Place thawed tater tots in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 45-60 seconds until soft but not fully cooked. Place three tots in each muffin cup. Using the bottom of a small glass or measuring cup, press down firmly to smash the tots, creating a crust that covers the bottom and slightly up the sides.
  • Bake tot crusts for 10 minutes until edges start to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 350°F.
  • While crusts bake, prepare your fillings: cook and crumble any raw meat, dice vegetables into small pieces, and grate cheese if necessary. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, crack 10 eggs and add 1/4 cup milk. Season generously with salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until eggs are well beaten and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds.
  • Once crusts are pre-baked, distribute your chosen fillings evenly among the cups, placing them directly on top of the tot crusts. Fill each cup about 1/4 of the way with toppings.
  • Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or small ladle, carefully pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling to about 90% full. The eggs will puff up while baking.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of each cup.
  • Bake at 350°F for 20-22 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set and no longer jiggly in the center. The cheese should be melted and lightly browned.
  • Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each cup and carefully remove the omelets.
