A hearty and comforting Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl featuring crispy baked tater tots topped with savory sausage gravy, a perfectly fried egg, melted cheddar cheese, and fresh chives. This satisfying breakfast dish combines classic flavors in an easy-to-make bowl that’s perfect for morning indulgence.

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 until they turn golden and crispy.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and lightly golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to stir until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine evenly.
  4. Cook the Tater Tots: Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake them 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 tots bake, fry the eggs in a non-stick pan to your preferred level of doneness, whether sunny-side up, over-easy, or over-hard.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the crispy tater tots evenly into four serving bowls. Spoon generous portions of the sausage gravy on top, then add a fried egg to each bowl. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired.
  7. Serve: Serve the Tater Tot Breakfast Bowls hot and fresh for a delicious, filling start to your day.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative to make the gravy lactose-free.
  • Adjust the salt and pepper in the gravy to your taste preference.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sausage gravy.
  • Use a non-stick skillet for frying eggs to make cooking and cleanup easier.
  • Fresh chives are optional but add a nice fresh flavor and color contrast.
