Over the weekend, I saw one of those cooking infomercials on a cooking device that can make meals in a matter of 5-7 minutes for just 3 easy payments of $19.95. One of them was a fun breakfast dish for kids, Eggsters….I saw this and just shook my head. Why buy a cooking device that will cost more than the items used to make the dishes? I can make those in my Pampered Chef Deluxe Mini-MuffinPan for a lot less and it makes 24 cute little Eggsters. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to make delicious meals for your family.
Mini Eggsters
Makes: 24
Ingredients:
- 24 Tator Tots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a single tator tot into each mini muffin cup.
In a small mixing bowl or batter bowl, whisk eggs together with salt and pepper. Pour over tator tots.
Bake for 5-7 minutes or until eggs are cooked. Oven temperatures do vary.
Recipe Note: Can add diced bell pepper, onion, cheese or ham.
Your kids will definitely enjoy!

maybe a silly question here but will the tots cook in enough time before the egg cooks?

Yes, they will. Tots are basically already cooked and just need to be re-heated in a pre-heated oven. As I mentioned, oven times do vary. We didn't experience any of them being cold in the middle or still frozen. Most all the cookware and bakeware I use evenly distributes heat.
