Ingredients

For the Tater Tot Bowl:

4 cups frozen Tater Tots

4 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)

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

Directions

 Cook the Tater Tots

Preheat your oven according to the package instructions.

Bake the tater tots until crispy and golden brown, usually about 20-25 minutes.

Set aside and keep warm.

 Make the Sausage Gravy

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through.

Sprinkle the flour over the sausage, stirring well to combine, and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly, and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper.

Remove from heat and keep warm.

 Scramble the Eggs

While the gravy is cooking, scramble the eggs in a non-stick pan over medium heat until fully cooked and fluffy.

 Assemble the Breakfast Bowls

Divide the crispy tater tots among serving bowls.

Top each bowl with scrambled eggs, sausage gravy, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

 Serve Immediately

Serve warm and enjoy the combination of crispy tater tots, creamy sausage gravy, and fluffy scrambled eggs for a comforting breakfast.
