Welcome to Jeanie and Lulu’s Kitchen, a love letter to my two incredible grandmothers, both of whom I think about every time I’m in the kitchen.

Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and liberally spray a 24 well mini muffin tin with Nonstick Cooking Spray (as needed).
step 2
Put two Frozen Veggie Tots (48) into each well and bake them for 10 minutes. Remove them and let them cool enough to handle but leave the oven on.

step 3
While they cook and cool, make the scrambled eggs. Heat the Butter (2 Tbsp) in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links (10) and brown it as you break it up. Let it cook completely.
step 4
Meanwhile, whisk the Eggs (6), Milk (1 Tbsp), Fresh Chives (4 stalks), Salt (1 pinch), and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1 pinch) together thoroughly. Pour that into the pan of cooked sausage and scramble the eggs completely until they form soft curds. Turn off the heat and stir in the Whipped Chive Cream Cheese (2 Tbsp).

step 5
Now it's time to assemble! Form the tater tots into little cups by pressing the center down firmly to make a hole and pressing the sides out to widen it. Fill each up generously with the scrambled eggs and sausage. Return the tin to the oven to bake for another 15 minutes.

step 6
Take it back out and sprinkle the top of each cup with a generous pinch of the Smoked Cheddar Cheese (1 cup). Bake it again for just a couple of minutes to melt the cheese. Then let them cool for just a couple of minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
