Ingredients

Scale

The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients—freshness really shines through when you keep things simple. I always pick high-quality eggs and cheese, and I prefer turkey sausage for a leaner option that still packs flavor. When it comes to tater tots, homemade is lovely but frozen works just as well for a quick fix, especially on busy school mornings. Over the years, I’ve learned that a balance between ease and quality makes all the difference in turning a simple bowl into a family favorite.

  • 4 cups frozen tater tots
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Optional toppings: salsa, avocado slices, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven according to the tater tots package instructions, usually around 425°F. Spread the frozen tots on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden and crispy, about 20-25 minutes.
  2. While the tots bake, heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
  3. If using bell peppers, add them to the skillet with the sausage and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet with the sausage and peppers, stirring gently to scramble. Cook until eggs are just set but still soft.
  5. Once the tater tots are crispy, divide them into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the scrambled eggs and sausage mixture.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and garnish with chopped green onions. If desired, add salsa, avocado, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy the satisfying mix of textures and flavors.
