Leek and Bacon Egg Tottins
Tottins are a kind of single-serve personal frittata, and these Leek and Bacon Egg Tottins inspired by Trader Joes are no joke. Although the idea of egg and tater tots combined together in breakfast gloriousness isn’t a new idea, this recipe will sure to please!
What you need:
1 can TJ’s Canola Oil Spray
36 (less than 1 bag) TJ’s Trader Potato Tots
1 Tbsp TJ’s Unsalted Butter
1 package fresh TJ’s Trimmed Leeks, ends trimmed, quartered lengthwise & roughly chopped
6 slices TJ’s Uncured Apple Smoked Bacon
8 TJ’s Eggs
1/4 teaspoon TJ’s Sea Salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon TJ’s Ground Black Pepper, or to taste
1/2 log TJ's Chevre
Supplies
Standard 12-slot muffin tin (or 12 ceramic ramekin or 12 mason jars placed on a high-rimmed baking tray)
What you need to do:
Preheat oven to 400°F degrees. Spray cups with canola oil. Line each cup with three potato tots and set aside.
Add butter and leeks to a skillet over medium heat, and sauté 2-3 minutes until leeks are caramelized. Transfer sauteed leeks to a medium bowl. In the same pan, cook bacon according to package directions. Once crispy, remove to cool, blot dry, then chop into small pieces.
Add bacon pieces to bowl of leeks, then stir in eggs, salt and pepper. Set aside. Add three to four pinches of goat cheese on top of the potato tots in each cup. Then, evenly distribute the egg mixture among the cups.
Place pan in center rack of oven and bake 20-23 minutes until egg is cooked and tops have browned slightly. Allow to cool for a minute, then run a knife around the edge of each cup, and carefully remove tottins and place in a serving platter.
