Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy


  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 bowls 1x

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Crack and whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Cook slowly over medium-low heat, stirring gently until fluffy and fully cooked but still moist.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
