Ingredients

36 frozen tater tots
1 cup ham or other desired filling ingredients
9 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin. (I use my silicone pan, so no need to grease for that one)
Place 3 tater tots in the bottom of each muffin cup. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes until soft.
Use the back of s spoon to flatten the tater tots to for a crust in the bottom of each muffin cup.
In a blender, add the eggs and cottage cheese and blend until smooth. Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup. You want them almost completely full. Then top each with some of the shredded cheese.
Bake at 375 degrees for 18-22 minutes until the egg bits are set in the center.
Allow to cool slightly, then remove from the muffin pan. Serves 6.

Notes

Fridge: Store in an airtight container up to 4 days.
Microwave: Heat 1–2 bites for 30–45 seconds.
Oven/Toaster Oven: 350°F for 5–7 minutes for a crispier texture.
