Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 15 eggs, scrambled
- 1 batch sausage gravy
Starch:
- 15 tater tots
Toppings and Seasonings:
- 1 taco cheese blend
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Optional Add-ins:
- Pepper flakes (to taste)
- Cayenne powder (to taste)
- 1 fresh Mexican restaurant-style salsa
Instructions
- Arrange tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spread for maximum crispiness.
- Roast the tater tots in a preheated oven at 425°F until golden brown and crunchy, approximately 25-30 minutes.
- While tots are crisping, craft the sausage gravy in a separate skillet, incorporating red pepper flakes and a pinch of cayenne for a subtle kick.
- Whisk eggs with a dash of salt and pepper, creating soft, fluffy scrambled eggs in a heated pan.
- Create a foundation in each serving bowl with the crispy golden tater tots.
- Distribute the light and airy scrambled eggs evenly across the tots.
- Ladle the spicy, creamy sausage gravy generously over the eggs, allowing it to cascade down the layers.
- Shower the dish with a vibrant taco cheese blend, melting slightly from the warmth of the gravy.
- Optional: Crown the breakfast bowl with a zesty Mexican-style salsa for an extra burst of freshness.
- Serve immediately while all components remain piping hot and textures are at their peak.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting pepper flakes and cayenne powder in the sausage gravy for mild or spicy preferences.
- Ensure tater tots are extra crispy by spreading them evenly on the baking sheet and not overcrowding to achieve golden, crunchy texture.
- Substitute pork sausage with turkey sausage or plant-based alternatives for lighter, healthier, or vegetarian diet options.
- Use pre-shredded cheese blend for quick assembly or grate fresh cheese for more robust flavor profile and melting quality.
