Step 1: Cook the Tater Tots
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet for even crispiness. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. For extra crunch, broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Step 2: Prepare the Breakfast Sausage
While the tater tots bake, cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it into small pieces with a spatula and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Gravy
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for 2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened, then season with salt, pepper, and optional cayenne or garlic powder for a kick.
Step 4: Scramble the Eggs
In a separate pan, melt a little butter or oil. Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper, then scramble gently until soft and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid overcooking for the perfect texture.
Step 5: Assemble the Bowls
Divide the crispy tater tots among four bowls. Top with cooked sausage and scrambled eggs. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the warm ingredients to allow it to melt slightly. Generously drizzle the creamy gravy and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this Tater Tot Sausage Breakfast Bowl, a delicious and filling meal that’s perfect for any morning!
