🥣 Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy

🍳 Ingredients

For the bowl:

• 4 cups frozen tater tots
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tbsp butter or oil
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

For the sausage gravy:

• 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cups milk (whole milk preferred)
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper or paprika for a kick

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Bake the Tater Tots
   • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
   • Spread tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer.
   • Bake for 20–25 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
2. Make the Sausage Gravy
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and cooked through. Break it up as it cooks.
   • Sprinkle flour over the sausage, stir, and cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
   • Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
   • Simmer until thickened (about 4–6 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
3. Cook the Eggs
   • While the gravy simmers, cook eggs to your preference (fried, scrambled, or poached).
   • Season lightly with salt and pepper.
4. Assemble the Bowl
   • Place a generous serving of tater tots at the bottom of each bowl.
   • Spoon sausage gravy over the tots.
   • Top with cooked eggs.
   • Sprinkle with shredded cheese and green onions, if desired.

🔄 Variations & Add-ins

• Add veggies: sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach.
• Swap protein: use bacon or plant-based sausage.
• Make it spicy: top with jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
