Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Breakfast Omelets
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously grease a standard muffin pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Microwave the frozen tater tots in a bowl for about 2-3 minutes to soften. Smash three tater tots into each muffin cup to form a flat layer. Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and distribute choice of pre-cooked meats and diced vegetables evenly into each cup.
  4. Whisk the large eggs with a splash of milk until well combined and slightly frothy. Pour the mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 90% full.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheese over each muffin and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  6. Allow the mini breakfast omelets to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
