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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Place 2 frozen tater tots into each muffin cup. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to soften the tater tots.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

If using, stir in the diced bacon or ham. Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese and mix to evenly combine.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top of each cup.

Step 8

Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
