Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Frozen tater tots
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Diced cooked bacon or ham (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional)
- 1 bottle Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with nonstick cooking spray.
Place 2 frozen tater tots into each muffin cup. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to soften the tater tots.
Use a small spoon or the back of a measuring cup to gently press the softened tater tots into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to form a 'cup' shape. Return them to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes until slightly crispy.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
If using, stir in the diced bacon or ham. Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese and mix to evenly combine.
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each tater tot cup, filling it about three-quarters of the way full to leave room for the eggs to puff as they cook.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top of each cup.
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the tater tot cups cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin using a spoon or spatula.
Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
