Ingredients
To prepare the Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy, you’ll need the following ingredients:
For the Tater Tots:
1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
For the Sausage Gravy:
1 pound breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Breakfast Bowl:
4 large eggs
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Hot sauce (optional)
Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions :
Step 1: Cook the Tater Tots
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the tater tots.
Bake Tater Tots: Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven according to the package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 25-30 minutes. Flip the tots halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Gravy
Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Add Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Add Milk: Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Season: Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
Prepare Eggs: Cook the eggs to your liking. You can scramble them, fry them, or poach them.
Season Eggs: Season the eggs with a little salt and pepper.
Step 4: Assemble the Breakfast Bowls
Layer Tater Tots: Divide the crispy tater tots among four bowls.
Top with Eggs: Place the cooked eggs on top of the tater tots in each bowl.
Add Sausage Gravy: Generously spoon the sausage gravy over the eggs and tater tots.
Step 5: Serve
Add Toppings: Sprinkle the bowls with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, hot sauce, and fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
Serve Immediately: Serve the breakfast bowls hot and enjoy!
