Directions

1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Whisk together eggs, kosher salt, and black pepper. Add thawed tater tots and cooked onion and stir well to combine.

3. Pour egg mixture into the pan and flatten the surface with a heatproof rubber spatula to make sure the tater tots are mostly submerged. Reduce heat to low; cook, undisturbed, watching edges to make sure egg isn’t getting too brown, until golden underneath and top is only a little runny, 20–25 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, make the salad: Whisk shallot, orange juice, vinegar, 3 Tbsp. oil, and ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a large bowl to combine; season dressing with pepper. Set aside.

5. Add radicchio, arugula, cheese, and nuts to dressing and toss to combine; season with salt and plenty of pepper.

6. Finish the Egg Bake: Using a spatula, loosen the edges of the egg. Wearing oven mitts, place a large plate upside down over skillet and swiftly flip over to turn egg out onto the plate. If the skillet is dry, add 1 Tbsp oil. Slide egg back into the skillet, top side down, and cook until the center is just set, about 5 minutes.

7. Transfer back to plate; let cool if desired. Top with salad and serve.
