Start your day with this easy Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl topped with savory sausage gravy, eggs, cheddar cheese, and crispy tots. Ready in 40 minutes!
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (32-ounce) bag frozen tater tots
- 4 large eggs, cooked to your preference
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots on a baking sheet and bake according to the package instructions, approximately 25 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage. Break it into crumbles with a spoon and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
- Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sausage and stir until it’s evenly coated. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate pan, cook the eggs to your preference (scrambled, sunny-side-up, or over-easy).
- Once the tater tots are done, divide them evenly between four bowls. Top each with a generous spoonful of sausage gravy.
- Add an egg to each bowl, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
This breakfast bowl is simple to prepare yet delivers a rich, satisfying meal. Start by preheating the oven and cooking the tater tots until golden and crispy. While they bake, prepare the sausage gravy by browning the sausage and creating a roux with flour and milk. The gravy will thicken into a rich, creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the crispy tater tots. Eggs are cooked in a separate pan to your preference, whether you like them scrambled, sunny-side-up, or over-easy. Assembling the bowl is easy—place the crispy tater tots in a bowl, drizzle with sausage gravy, and add the eggs and cheese on top. Finish with fresh chives for a pop of color and freshness.
