Ingredients
  

For the Gravy
  • 1 lb Breakfast Sausage Adds protein and savory flavor; substitute with turkey sausage or a plant-based alternative for a lighter option.
  • 2 tbsp Butter Provides richness to the gravy; can be substituted with olive oil or margarine.
  • 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour Thickens the gravy; whole wheat flour can be used as a healthier alternative.
  • 1 cup Milk Gives creaminess to the gravy; use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • to taste Salt and Pepper Enhances overall flavor; adjust to taste.
For the Bowl
  • 32 oz Frozen Tater Tots Forms the crunchy base of the bowl; freshly diced potatoes can be used for a homemade touch.
  • 4 Large Eggs Adds protein and richness; eggs can be replaced with a tofu scramble for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Provides melty, creamy texture; swap for pepper jack for an extra kick or gouda for smokiness.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Chives Garnish for freshness and color; green onions can be used as an alternative.

Method
 

How to Make Hearty Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl
  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) so it’s hot and ready for your tater tots, ensuring they achieve that perfect crunchy texture.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage until it’s fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, set it aside to keep warm and flavorful.
  3. Make Gravy: In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth, then gradually add 1 cup of milk. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add the cooked sausage.
  4. Bake Tater Tots: Spread the frozen tater tots evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  5. Fry Eggs: While the tater tots are baking, cook the large eggs in a separate non-stick pan to your desired doneness—sunny-side up or over-easy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Assemble Bowls: Once the tater tots are ready, divide them into bowls. Generously top each bowl with the sausage gravy, a fried egg, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and a handful of chopped chives for a pop of color.
  7. Serve Hot: Enjoy your hearty tater tot breakfast bowl immediately while everything is warm and inviting for the ultimate breakfast experience.
