Ingredients

  • Tater Tots:
  • 1 (32-ounce) bag frozen tater tots
  • Salt, to taste
  • Sausage Gravy:
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2½ cups whole milk (plus more as needed)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of cayenne or paprika (optional)
  • Scrambled Eggs:
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Optional Toppings:
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped scallions or chives
  • Hot sauce
  • Diced tomatoes, sautéed peppers, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Bake the Tots: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake tater tots on a baking sheet for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Season with salt while hot.
  2. Make the Gravy: In a skillet, brown sausage over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne or paprika if desired.
  3. Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs and cook gently, stirring until just set.
  4. Assemble: In bowls, layer tater tots, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy, and desired toppings. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Bake tots on a wire rack for maximum crispiness.
  • Store components separately and assemble just before serving.
  • Reheat gravy gently with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
