Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 36 frozen tater tots (about half of a 2-lb package)
  • Lawry's seasoned salt (or salt & pepper)
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup green onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 8-12 slices deli ham, chopped (depend on the thickness of your ham)
  • 1/2 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Tabasco, for serving (optional)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a silicone muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Step 2: Place 3 frozen tater tots into each muffin cup; sprinkle the tots with Lawry's seasoned salt (or salt & pepper).

  • Step 3: Bake 20 minutes, until the tots are soft and a little bit crispy. Remove the pan from the oven and use measuring cup (or small drinking glass) to press the tots into the bottom of the muffin cups.

  • Step 4: Top with about 1 Tablespoon chopped ham and 1 Tablespoon of shredded cheese.

  • Step 5: In a large pourable liquid measuring cup, combine eggs, green onion, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine. (If you don't have a large, pourable liquid measuring cup, use a bowl -- the pourable cup just makes the next step easier.) You should get right about two cups of egg mixture.

  • Step 6: Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling each about 2/3 full.

  • Step 7: After the egg has settled around the meat and cheese (takes a minute or so), top off each muffin cup with the remaining egg mixture until all of the cups are full but not overflowing.

  • Step 8: Bake 20 minutes, or until cooked through (the egg will be firm and not jiggly). Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
