Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375° F. Butter the bottom and sides of each cup of a muffin tin.
Let the tater tots thaw for at least 20 minutes before starting, just so they're easier to mold. Place 3-4 tots in each cup of a muffin tin, using your fingers or a shot glass to smash the tots and mold them into a cup-like shape.
Sprinkle shredded cheese onto each "cup" of tater tots. Crack an egg on top of each one, then place into the oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the whites are no longer translucent and the yolk has set.
Drizzle with sriracha or other hot sauce before serving.
