Instructions
Step 1: Bake the Tater Tots
- Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to the temperature indicated on the tater tot packaging.
- Bake Tater Tots: Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until golden and crispy, about 20–25 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Gravy
- Cook the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
- Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well, cooking for 1–2 minutes.
- Add the Milk: Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
- Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until soft and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
Step 4: Assemble the Bowls
- Layer the Ingredients: Divide the tater tots among four bowls. Top with a generous scoop of scrambled eggs, followed by sausage gravy.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each bowl. Add optional toppings like green onions, diced tomatoes, and hot sauce.
