Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This will get everything nice and hot before we get cooking!
Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil to ensure your omelets pop out easily.
Take a handful of tater tots and place a layer at the bottom of each muffin cup, pressing them down to form a delicious crust.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, adding a sprinkle of salt and pepper for flavor.
Stir in the chopped vegetables, cooked meat, and cheese, merging it all together to create a hearty filling.
Pour the egg mixture generously over the tater tot crust in each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the egg is set and the tops are beautifully golden. The aroma will be irresistible!
Allow the omelets to cool slightly before gently removing them from the muffin tin.
Serve warm and enjoy these cozy bites!
