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.
