Description

There’s no better way to kick off your morning than with a warm, comforting bowl layered with crispy tater tots, fluffy scrambled eggs, creamy sausage gravy, and melty cheese. The Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy isn’t just breakfast—it’s a satisfying, savory experience you’ll want to wake up for.

Ingredients

Scale

Tater tots (enough for serving, approx. 4–5 cups)
15 eggs, scrambled
1 double batch of sausage gravy (homemade or store-bought)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Taco cheese blend (about 1½–2 cups, or to preference)
Optional Add-ins:
Red pepper flakes or cayenne for spicy gravy
Fresh salsa for topping
Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spread tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden and crispy.
While tots bake, prepare the sausage gravy. Cook sausage in a skillet, stir in flour to form a roux, then slowly add milk and spices. Simmer until thickened. Add spice (cayenne or red pepper flakes) if desired.
Crack and whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Cook slowly over medium-low heat, stirring gently until fluffy and fully cooked but still moist.
Layer tater tots at the bottom of each bowl. Top with scrambled eggs, a hearty ladle of sausage gravy, and a sprinkle of taco cheese blend.
Top with salsa, green onions, or hot sauce if you like. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Use hash browns or sweet potato tots as a base. Make ahead by prepping gravy and eggs in advance. Try pepper jack or gouda for a cheesy twist. Garnish with paprika or fresh herbs for extra flair.
