Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Cook the Tater Tots
Preheat your oven according to the package instructions and spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until they are golden brown and crispy, usually around 25-30 minutes. For extra crispiness, flip them halfway through cooking.
Step 2: Brown the Sausage
While the tater tots are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s browned and cooked through. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
Step 3: Make the Gravy
In the same skillet with the sausage drippings, add the butter and let it melt. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk it into the butter, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until it’s lightly browned. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Cook the Eggs
In a separate pan, cook the eggs to your liking—scrambled, fried, or poached all work great for this recipe.
Step 5: Assemble the Breakfast Bowl
Now comes the fun part—assembling your breakfast bowl! Start with a base of crispy tater tots, followed by a generous scoop of sausage. Add the eggs on top and drizzle with the creamy gravy. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the bowl, and if you like, garnish with chopped green onions or parsley.
