Ingredients
Scale
Tater Tots
- 4 cups frozen tater tots
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Sausage Gravy
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Eggs & Toppings
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
- Bake the tater tots: Preheat the oven and bake the frozen tater tots according to the package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy. This usually takes around 20-25 minutes.
- Cook the sausage: While the tater tots bake, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and fully cooked through.
- Make the gravy: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage in the skillet and stir to coat the meat. Slowly pour in the whole milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
- Cook the eggs: In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook the eggs according to your preference, either scrambled or fried.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the crispy tater tots evenly into four bowls. Top each with cooked eggs, then pour the hot sausage gravy over them. Finish by sprinkling shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives on top.
- Serve: Serve immediately while hot for a comforting and filling breakfast.
Notes
- Use turkey sausage for a lighter, lower-fat version.
- Customize the bowl by adding sautéed peppers, onions, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- This recipe is versatile and easy to adjust with whatever ingredients you have on hand.
