1. Cook the Tater Tots
Preheat your oven according to the package instructions and bake the Tater Tots until crispy and golden brown, usually about 20–25 minutes. Once done, set them aside while you prepare the rest of the breakfast. 🥔✨
2. Make the Sausage Gravy
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate any raw flour taste.
Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and keep warm. The result is a rich, creamy gravy that’s the perfect partner for crispy Tater Tots. 🍳
3. Cook the Eggs
While the gravy is cooking, scramble the eggs in a non-stick pan over medium heat until fully cooked. Fluffy eggs provide the perfect balance to the crispy and creamy elements in this bowl.
4. Assemble the Breakfast Bowls
Divide the Tater Tots among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with scrambled eggs, a generous ladle of sausage gravy, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. 🌿🧀
5. Serve Immediately
Enjoy this hearty breakfast while warm! The combination of crispy, cheesy, creamy, and savory flavors makes this a breakfast everyone will love.
