I stay at home and my husband works full time. I try to make our lives easier by making easy to transport breakfasts that will satisfy our wants. Lets be honest, buying meals out or buying pre-packaged breakfast items at the supermarket is convenient but it will break the budget if you are not careful. Every week I make my Three Ingredient Banana Bread or my 4 Ingredient Pumpkin Bread and my Easy Sausage, Cheese, and Potato Egg Cups!
The best thing about Easy Sausage, Cheese, and Potato Egg Cups is they can be transformed into just about anything. Any veggie, breakfast meat, or cheese would be a good fit for this recipe. Simply tailor the recipe to whatever you like or whatever you have on hand. We generally keep it our regular sausage, cheese, and potato because my husband doesn’t like change (or vegetables).
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 pound bag of Frozen Tater Tots
- 10-12 eggs
- 6 fully cooked turkey sausage links (or any meat or veggie of your choosing)
- 1/4 cup of cheese
- Pinch of Salt
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Grease a silicone muffin pan or muffin tin with cooking spray
- Place 3 frozen tater tots into the bottom of each muffin cup. Place the tater tots into the 400 degree oven for 6-8 minutes.
- While the tots are in the oven, chop the 6 fully cooked sausage links into bite size pieces and set aside.
- Crack 8-10 eggs into a pourable measuring cup and whisk(I generally use 8 eggs for this recipe but just play it by ear, you can always whisk more eggs if you need to fill the cups more). Add a pinch of salt to the eggs.
- Remove the Tater Tots from the oven. Using a small glass, smash the Tater Tots down into the muffin cup.
- Evenly sprinkle the smashed Tater Tots with sausage and cheese. Fill each muffin cup to the top with the whisked eggs.
- Place the muffin tin back into the 400 degree oven for 18-20 minutes. Makes 12 delicious egg cups!
Let the egg cups cool on the counter. Place the egg cups in an airtight container in the fridge for the week or freeze them and grab as your go. These egg cups last my husband and I all week long. Try this simple, delicious, make ahead recipe and make mornings manageable!
