This easy recipe makes a comforting breakfast for two, utilizing leftover tater tots or hash browns for a delicious morning treat.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Egg Napolean Ingredients

  • 12 ea tater tots, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 Tbsp jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup sweet onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, diced
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place a small skillet over medium-high heat to get it ready for sautéing.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Melt the butter in the hot skillet, then add the diced onion and jalapeno. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and become fragrant.
  3. Add Garlic: Stir in the diced garlic and cook for an additional minute, continuing to stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  4. Prepare Ramekins: Spray two small ramekin dishes with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Divide the crumbled tater tots evenly between the two ramekins.
  5. Combine Ingredients in Ramekins: Spoon the sautéed onion, jalapeno, and garlic mixture over the tater tots in each ramekin. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
  6. Add Eggs and Season: Crack one egg into each ramekin on top of the cheese layer. Season each egg with salt and pepper to your taste preferences.
  7. Bake the Eggs: Place the ramekins on the middle oven rack and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes to start setting the eggs.
  8. Broil to Finish: Switch the oven to broil on high. Broil the ramekins for 5-6 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and slightly browned on top. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
  9. Rest and Serve: Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes since they will be hot. Warn diners about the heat before serving to ensure safe enjoyment.

Notes

  • Leftover tater tots add great texture, but you can substitute with leftover hash browns or home fries.
  • Be careful when broiling; keep an eye to prevent eggs from overcooking or burning.
  • Use ramekins that can withstand high heat for oven and broil use.
  • Feel free to customize with different cheese types or add herbs for extra flavor.
  • Ensure jalapeno is seeded if you prefer less heat.
