Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups frozen tater tots Packed firmly into the mold nooks to establish our crispy baseline crust foundation
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage Maple or savory pork links crumbled uniformly ahead of assembly lines cleanly
  • 6 large eggs Room temperature varieties whisked well to build our binding custard base
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Divided use for the interior scramble and the final melting top cover
  • ¼ cup whole milk Provides moisture to keep the egg wash fluid and easily spreadable cleanly
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley Finely minced to scatter over the melting cheese layers decorationally

Equipment

  • 1 12-cup muffin tin Standard metal pan used to build our individual bakes uniformly and prevent sticking metrics
  • 1 wire hand whisk Used to break up egg streaks to develop a completely smooth, fluid texture consistency cleanly
  • 1 Glass measuring cup Perfect for easily portioning out the frozen potato rounds and compressing them into the molds

Method
 

  1. Grease your 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray and pack three frozen tater tots into each nook.
  2. Compress the spuds firmly into the corners using the flat base of a small glass measuring cup to build a solid wall.
  3. Bake at 200°C for fifteen minutes until the borders turn beautifully golden-brown and crispy.
  4. Whisk your eggs, whole milk, pepper, and garlic powder together inside a big glass bowl smoothly.
  5. Stir your cooked crumbled sausage and one half-cup of shredded cheddar cleanly into the egg custard wash matrix.
  6. Divide the hearty scramble mixture evenly over your pre-baked tater tot baseline cups inside the pan.
  7. Scatter the remaining sharp cheddar cheese heavily over the exposed top surfaces of the filled cups.
  8. Dust extra black pepper and fine minced parsley particles decorationally over the melting dairy layers.
  9. Bake at 200°C for an additional twelve minutes until the eggs are set cleanly and the cheese melts into a molten blanket.

Notes

Compressing the frozen tater tots firmly into the muffin tin nooks right before the pre-baking step locks in the spud fibers to create a perfectly sealed, un-leakable golden boundary wall.
