This breakfast bowl pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit or a simple green salad to balance out the richness of the dish. For a touch of acidity, consider serving with a side of pickled jalapenos or a tangy tomato salsa. A refreshing glass of orange juice or a steaming cup of coffee would also complement the flavors perfectly, providing a complete and satisfying breakfast experience.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 cups of frozen tater tots
1 pound of breakfast sausage
4 large eggs
1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup of chopped green onions
1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
2 cups of milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of butter
Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the tater tots evenly on a baking sheet and bake according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.
While the tater tots are baking, cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula until fully cooked. Transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for about 2 minutes to form a smooth roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to whisk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate pan, scramble the eggs until just cooked through, seasoning with a bit of salt and pepper.
To assemble the bowls, divide the baked tater tots among four bowls. Top each with a portion of sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Pour the warm gravy over each bowl and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
