Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups frozen tater tots
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasoning and Herbs:
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
- Prepare oven to package-recommended temperature and arrange Tater Tots on baking sheet, roasting until achieving a golden, crisp exterior (approximately 20-25 minutes).
- Heat skillet over medium flame and crumble breakfast sausage, cooking until thoroughly browned and rendering fat.
- Dust sausage with flour, stirring continuously to create a roux, allowing mixture to toast for 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw flour flavor.
- Slowly incorporate milk into sausage mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, and simmer until gravy reaches desired thick consistency (about 5 minutes).
- Season gravy with salt and pepper, then reduce heat to maintain warmth.
- Simultaneously, whisk eggs in separate non-stick pan over medium heat, gently folding until fully cooked and fluffy.
- Distribute crispy Tater Tots evenly across serving bowls as foundational layer.
- Layer scrambled eggs atop Tater Tots, then generously ladle warm sausage gravy over eggs.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese across surface and garnish with finely chopped green onions for added freshness.
- Serve immediately while components remain hot and textures are optimal.
Notes
- Crisp Tater Tots perfectly by spreading them evenly on a baking sheet and avoiding overcrowding to ensure maximum crunchiness.
- Control gravy thickness by adjusting milk quantity and stirring constantly to prevent lumps and achieve smooth consistency.
- Customize egg preparation based on preference – scrambled, over-easy, or poached work wonderfully with this breakfast bowl.
- Transform into gluten-free version by using cornstarch instead of flour and selecting gluten-free sausage for individuals with dietary restrictions.
