Ingredients
  

Tater Tot Base
  • 1 bag frozen tater tots 32 oz
Sausage Gravy
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk whole milk preferred
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
Eggs and Cheese
  • 6 eggs scrambled or fried
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar recommended
Optional Toppings
  • chopped green onions
  • diced tomatoes
  • sliced avocado
  • hot sauce
  • sour cream

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Large skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread tater tots on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions until crispy.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned. Do not drain all the grease.
  3. Add butter to the sausage, stirring until melted. Sprinkle in flour and stir continuously for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually add milk while stirring constantly. Simmer until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and black pepper.
  5. While gravy is simmering, cook eggs to your preference (scrambled, fried, or poached).
  6. To assemble, place a layer of crispy tater tots in a bowl, top with cooked eggs, and pour sausage gravy over everything.
  7. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and add any optional toppings you like. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy tater tots, bake them for 5 more minutes than the package recommends. If making ahead, store gravy and tater tots separately and reheat before serving.
