Ham Tater Tot Egg A La Muffin Tin Food

MUFFIN-TIN TATER TOT™ BREAKFAST CUPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place foil baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups; spray foil baking cups with cooking spray.
• Place 6 frozen mini Tater Tots™ in each muffin cup; bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven; cool 5 minutes. Using 2 paper towels, gently press potatoes into cups to create a base for the muffins. Evenly sprinkle cheese over potatoes in each muffin cup.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix milk, eggs and salt; set aside.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned. Cool 2 minutes. Spoon evenly over Tater Tots™ in each muffin cup.

INDIVIDUAL HAM CASSEROLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray 24 muffin cups (2 standard muffin tins) with cooking spray.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl; add the salt, black pepper and chili powder. Whisk until combined. Add the ham, Cheddar, bell peppers and onions and stir.
• With a measuring cup, scoop the mixture into the muffin cups. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until puffy and just barely set.
• Within a minute or two, the casseroles will start to flatten just a little bit -- this is normal! Run a knife along the edges of each muffin cup and lift the casseroles out of the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BAKED EGGS IN HASH BROWN CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Use your fingers to gently press down the sides and bottom in each muffin hole to make a nest. Spray again with cooking spray. Then bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Watch and make sure they do not burn.
• Allow the nests to cool and lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Then crack an egg into each nest. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake until the whites are set, about 15 minutes.
