How to Make Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy

This breakfast bowl comes together quickly with just a few easy steps. Follow these instructions for a warm and satisfying meal.

Step 1: Cook the Tater Tots

Preheat your oven according to the package instructions, typically around 400°F (200°C). Spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Once done, set them aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Gravy

  1. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.
  2. Add the Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to coat evenly. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  3. Make the Gravy: Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens. Add salt and black pepper, then remove from heat. Keep warm.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

While the gravy is thickening, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until fully combined. Pour into the pan and cook, stirring gently, until they are fully scrambled and soft. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

  1. Start with the base: Divide the crispy tater tots among serving bowls.
  2. Add the eggs: Spoon the scrambled eggs over the tater tots.
  3. Pour the sausage gravy: Generously ladle the warm sausage gravy over the eggs.
  4. Top with cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, letting it melt slightly from the heat.
  5. Garnish (optional): Sprinkle with chopped green onions for extra flavor and color.

Step 5: Serve Immediately

Enjoy your delicious Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy while warm. The crispy tater tots, creamy gravy, and fluffy eggs create the perfect bite!
