Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen tater tots
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage or bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables & Toppings
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Hot sauce or salsa for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Bake the Tater Tots: Preheat your oven and bake the frozen tater tots according to the package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy. This usually takes around 20-25 minutes.
- Prepare the Eggs: While the tater tots bake, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl until fully combined. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring frequently to scramble, until the eggs are soft, fluffy, and just set. Be careful not to overcook them.
- Assemble the Bowls: Once the tater tots are done baking, divide them evenly among your serving bowls. Top each bowl with the scrambled eggs, cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bell peppers, and green onions.
- Serve: Serve the bowls immediately, optionally with hot sauce or salsa on the side to add a spicy kick according to your preference.
Notes
- Customize your bowl by adding avocado slices, sautéed spinach, or diced tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
- You can prepare all components ahead of time and reheat just before serving for convenient meal prep.
- Use turkey sausage or a plant-based sausage alternative to lighten the dish or make it vegetarian-friendly.
