Ingredients
Scale
- 10 large eggs
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) milk
- 36 tater tots
- Shredded cheese (½ cup/120 milliliters)
- Breakfast sausage (½ cup/120 milliliters)
- Diced bell pepper (¼ cup/60 milliliters)
- Seasoning to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 400°f and thoroughly spray a standard muffin pan with cooking spray to ensure easy release.
- Tater Tot Base: Microwave tater tots until malleable, then press three tots into each muffin cavity using the bottom of a small cup to create a uniform, compact foundation.
- Initial Baking: Bake the pressed tots for 10 minutes to achieve a crispy base, then reduce oven temperature to 350°f.
- Filling Assembly: Dice pre-cooked sausage links and bell peppers into uniform pieces, distributing them evenly across each muffin cup.
- Egg Mixture: Whisk eggs with milk and seasonings until smooth and slightly frothy, then carefully pour the mixture into each muffin cup, filling to about 90% capacity.
- Cheese Topping: Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over each mini omelet to enhance flavor and create a golden, melted surface.
- Final Baking: Bake for 20 minutes or until eggs are completely set and cheese is melted with a light golden color.
- Serving: Allow mini omelets to cool for a few minutes, then gently remove from the pan and serve immediately.
Notes
- Prep Wisely: Coat muffin pan generously to prevent stubborn egg and potato sticking, ensuring easy cleanup.
- Flatten Strategically: Press tater tots evenly to create a crispy, uniform base that supports the egg mixture and adds delightful texture.
- Portion Perfectly: Fill muffin cups only 90% full to allow eggs room to rise and prevent messy overflow during baking.
- Cheese Trick: Sprinkle cheese on top for a golden, melted finish that enhances flavor and creates an appetizing visual appeal.
