Mini Breakfast Omelets are a fun and convenient twist on traditional omelets, perfect for breakfast or brunch. These individual-sized omelets are baked in a muffin pan with crispy tater tots forming a golden crust base, filled with eggs, cheese, and your choice of meats and vegetables. Easy to customize and make ahead, they are great for family meals or meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 36 tater tots (for a standard muffin pan)

Egg Mixture

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Shredded cheese, about 1 to 1 1/2 cups (cheddar or your choice)
  • Seasoning to taste (salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc.)

Fillings

  • Meat of choice (e.g., cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled, about 1/2 cup)
  • Vegetables of choice (e.g., diced bell pepper, about 1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the muffin pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan to prevent sticking. Arrange the tater tots evenly in the bottom of each muffin cup to form a crispy base.
  2. Make the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Add salt, pepper, and any other seasonings to taste. Stir in the shredded cheese.
  3. Add fillings: Spoon in your chosen cooked meat and diced vegetables into each muffin cup on top of the tater tot base. Be careful not to overfill.
  4. Pour egg mixture: Carefully pour the egg and cheese mixture over the fillings in each muffin cup, filling them almost to the top but leaving a little space to allow the mixture to expand while baking.
  5. Bake the mini omelets: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops are slightly golden. You can test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the mini omelets cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the pan. Serve warm as a delicious and portable breakfast treat.

Notes

  • You can customize the fillings with any favorite breakfast meats or vegetables such as bacon, ham, spinach, mushrooms, or onions.
  • Use shredded cheese varieties like cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for different flavors.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit meat and add extra vegetables.
  • If you prefer a crispier tater tot crust, bake the tater tots for 5-7 minutes before adding the egg mixture.
  • These mini omelets can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently in a microwave or oven.
