Ingredients
Scale
Tater Tots
- 2 cups frozen tater tots
Eggs and Dairy
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Meat and Toppings
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat and Bake Tots: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the frozen tater tots on a sheet pan in a single layer and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Prepare Scrambled Eggs: While the tater tots bake, whisk the eggs together with milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Gently scramble the eggs, stirring occasionally until just set and still moist.
- Cook and Crumble Bacon: In a separate pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and crumble the bacon into small pieces once cooled slightly.
- Assemble the Bowl: Once the tater tots are done, divide them evenly into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and diced green onions.
- Melt the Cheese: Allow the cheese to melt slightly from the residual heat of the eggs and tots. If needed, microwave each bowl for about 15 seconds to help the cheese melt completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the breakfast bowls immediately while warm, with optional hot sauce for added flavor if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute sausage or plant-based protein for bacon if preferred.
- Add sautéed peppers or spinach for extra vegetables and nutrients.
