Ingredients
  

For the Tater Tot Bowl
  • 4 cups frozen Tater Tots Make sure to spread them in a single layer for even crisping.
  • 4 large eggs Sunny-side up or over-easy works beautifully.
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese Use sharp cheddar for more bite.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions Optional for fresh color and crunch.
For the Sausage Gravy
  • 1/2 pound breakfast sausage Choose a savory pork or turkey sausage.
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour Helps thicken the gravy.
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk Gives a richer, creamier gravy.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the Tater Tots, then spread the tots in a single layer.
  2. Cook the Tater Tots in the oven until crispy and golden.
Make the Sausage Gravy
  1. In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and slightly caramelized.
  2. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flavor.
  3. Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Fry the Eggs
  1. Fry the eggs to your liking, sunny-side up or over-easy.
Assemble the Bowl
  1. Place the Tater Tots in a bowl, top with sausage gravy, sprinkle cheese, add green onions, and finish with the fried eggs.
  2. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For a heartier version, serve with hamburger steak-style sides. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of milk if the gravy thickens.
