Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (or bacon, if preferred)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
- Hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Spread the frozen tater tots evenly on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake the tater tots for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, shaking or flipping halfway through.
- While the tater tots are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the crumbled breakfast sausage (or bacon).
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
- Add the diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet, sautéing for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and add the 1/4 cup of milk. Whisk until well combined and season with salt and pepper.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Drain excess grease if necessary, but leave some for flavor.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to sit for a moment to start setting around the edges.
- Gently stir the eggs, folding them over the sausage and vegetables, and cook for about 3-5 minutes until fully cooked but still soft.
- Once the tater tots are done, let them cool for a minute.
- In a large bowl or individual serving bowls, layer the crispy tater tots at the bottom.
- Spoon the egg, sausage, and vegetable mixture over the tater tots.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. For extra melty cheese, return the bowls to the oven for a few minutes.
- Remove the bowls from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Customize your breakfast bowl with additional ingredients like diced tomatoes, avocado, or jalapeños.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and add more vegetables like spinach or mushrooms.
