Ingredients
For the Tater Tot Base:
-
4 cups frozen tater tots
-
4 large eggs
-
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
For the Sausage Gravy:
-
1/2 pound breakfast sausage
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 1/2 cups whole milk
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Bake the Tater Tots
Preheat your oven according to the package instructions. Spread tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until crispy and golden, about 20–25 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Gravy
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles. Once browned and fully cooked, sprinkle flour over the sausage. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly add milk while stirring continuously. Simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
In a non-stick skillet, cook the eggs over medium heat until fluffy and fully set, stirring gently. Remove from heat.
Step 4: Assemble the Bowls
Divide the baked tater tots between serving bowls. Top with scrambled eggs, a generous spoonful of sausage gravy, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Add chopped green onions, if desired.
