Description

A hearty and delicious Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl featuring crispy baked tater tots, fluffy scrambled eggs, savory breakfast sausage or bacon, and melted cheddar cheese, topped with fresh green onions and optional flavorful toppings. Perfect for a satisfying breakfast or meal prep option.


Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 cups frozen tater tots

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Protein

  • 1/2 pound breakfast sausage or bacon, cooked and crumbled

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Optional: salsa, hot sauce, sour cream, or avocado slices


Instructions

  1. Bake the tater tots: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the frozen tater tots evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
  2. Prepare the scrambled eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set and fluffy.
  3. Cook the sausage or bacon: In a separate skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage or bacon pieces until browned and thoroughly cooked through. Remove from heat and crumble if needed.
  4. Assemble the breakfast bowls: Divide the baked tater tots among four bowls. Top each bowl with the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage or bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
  5. Add toppings and serve: Add any optional toppings like salsa, hot sauce, sour cream, or avocado slices as desired. Serve the breakfast bowls warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the sausage with plant-based alternatives.
  • Add a spicy kick by using pepper jack cheese or incorporating jalapeños.
  • Great for meal prep: store components separately and reheat before serving to maintain texture and flavor.
