I don't know why I never thought of this myself! Every week at church someone supplies the snacks, and today someone brought scrambled-egg-and-ham mini muffins! No crust or anything, just the eggs. I could tell by the shape they were made in the MMP, too.

I might make these tonight, and put them in the refrigerator. My daughter can then pop a couple in the microwave for a minute, and have a grab-and-go breakfast before school. I'm thinking putting hash browns on the bottom would only make them better!
 
What if you put a tator tot in bottom and cover with egg??

Just a thought, might have to try for my family.

This sounds so easy, and wonderful. I love the tater tot addition. Perhaps it could be a tatertot, piece of ham, some egg mixture, then a pinch of cheese on the top! If someone tries any form of the concoction, please post the time for cooking and temp you used. So many possibilities....

They have the tator tot rounds that would probably fit right in the bottom of the MMP.
