Description

If you’re looking for a simple, nutritious, and kid-friendly breakfast idea, Mini Breakfast Omelets are your new go-to. These bite-sized egg muffins are perfect for hectic mornings when you need something fast and filling with customizable ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 36 tater tots (for the crust in a standard muffin pan)
  • 10 large eggs (for the omelet base)
  • 1/4 cup milk (to make eggs fluffy)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (like cheddar or colby jack)
  • 1 cup diced veggies or cooked meat (bell peppers, turkey sausage, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease a standard muffin pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Thaw 36 tater tots in the microwave for a minute or two until soft enough to smash.
  3. Place 3 tater tots in each muffin cup. Use the bottom of a small glass to smash them into a flat crust.
  4. Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes until slightly golden, then lower the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Evenly distribute your chosen fillings into each cup.
  6. Whisk 10 eggs with 1/4 cup milk and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  7. Pour the mixture into each cup, filling about 90%.
  8. Top with shredded cheese and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until eggs are set.

Notes

Use frozen tater tots for the crust; thaw slightly for easier smashing. Opt for pre-diced veggies to save prep time. Grease muffin pan well to prevent sticking. Double the recipe and freeze extras for quick breakfasts.
