Ingredients

Scale

For the Sausage Gravy:

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Bowl:

  • 4 cups frozen tater tots
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Chopped fresh chives, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the tater tots, ensuring they become crispy and golden.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is browned and cooked through. Once done, remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Gravy: Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk while stirring constantly, cooking until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix well to combine.
  4. Cook the Tater Tots: Spread the frozen tater tots evenly on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Fry the Eggs: While the tater tots bake, fry the eggs in a pan to your preferred doneness—whether sunny side up, over easy, or fully cooked.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the crispy tater tots among four bowls. Top each bowl with a generous portion of sausage gravy, a fried egg, and sprinkle each with shredded cheddar cheese. Garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired to add a fresh and colorful touch.
  7. Serve: Serve your Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl immediately while hot and enjoy the rich, savory flavors and contrasting textures.

Notes

  • You can substitute turkey sausage or plant-based sausage to reduce fat content while keeping the dish flavorful.
  • For extra veggies, sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers can be added to the gravy or used as toppings.
  • Try other cheese varieties such as pepper jack for spice or gouda for a smoky flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning by adding garlic powder or cayenne pepper to the gravy for an extra flavor kick.
  • Cook eggs according to your personal preference for yolk consistency to customize richness.
  • This dish is best served hot to fully enjoy the melted cheese and creamy gravy textures.
