Ingredients:
- 4 cups frozen tater tots (potato nuggets)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions:
- Bake the Tater Tots:
- Preheat your oven according to the package directions for the tater tots.
- Spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, usually about 25 minutes. Set aside once done.
- Cook the Sausage:
- In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles as it browns. Once fully cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
- Make the Gravy:
- In the same skillet with the sausage drippings, add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt it over medium heat.
- Stir in the flour, whisking continuously to create a roux, and cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the gravy is too thick, add more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Scramble the Eggs:
- In a separate pan, scramble the eggs to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
- Assemble the Breakfast Bowl:
- Start by layering the crispy tater tots at the bottom of the bowl.
- Add the scrambled eggs on top, followed by the crumbled sausage.
- Pour the creamy gravy over the eggs and sausage, and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions on top.
Personalization Tips:
- Add Veggies: You can add sautéed bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Spice It Up: Add a dash of hot sauce or jalapeños for some heat.
- Swap the Meat: Use bacon, ham, or turkey sausage instead of regular sausage for variety.
