Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the muffin tin

One 32-ounce bag frozen potato nuggets, such as Tater Tots, defrosted 

18 slices sharp Cheddar, halved (36 half slices)

2 tablespoons half-and-half 

6 large eggs 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

12 thin slices Roma tomato

2 avocados, thinly sliced 

Sea salt flakes, for topping

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Spray a muffin tin liberally with cooking spray. Put 4 or 5 tots into each cup, pressing down firmly to pack them in. Top each with a half slice of Cheddar, then crisscross with another half slice. Bake until crispy, 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Whisk the half-and-half and eggs in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide the egg mixture among the "tot cups" and top each with another half slice of Cheddar and 1 slice of tomato. Bake until the eggs are firm, another 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove from the tin.
  4. Top with avocado slices, sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper.

These tasted really good but took me way longer to make than it than indicated it. Looking at it again, I realize that I tried to make cups out of the potatoes so that they were kind of like the paper cup liners in shape. Now I see that the directions only say to press down on the potatoes to pack them in. Doesn't say to make cups out of them. I can see that doing it by just pressing them down so that they pack down kind of evenly would make this much easier and faster and, I am sure, taste just as good!
