Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen tater tots
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Hot sauce or salsa for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Bake the Tater Tots: Preheat your oven and bake the frozen tater tots according to the package instructions until they turn golden brown and crispy. This usually takes around 20-25 minutes.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: While the tater tots are baking, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to caramelize.
- Cook the Scrambled Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Gently stir and scramble the eggs until they are just set but still moist, taking care not to overcook.
- Assemble the Breakfast Bowls: In a large serving bowl or individual bowls, place a layer of the crispy baked tater tots. Top with a generous portion of the scrambled eggs and vegetables, followed by the crumbled sausage or bacon.
- Add Cheese and Garnish: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions on top of each bowl while the eggs are still warm so the cheese melts slightly.
- Serve: Serve the bowls warm with optional hot sauce or salsa on the side for added flavor and spice.
Notes
- Customize your bowl with additional toppings such as sliced avocado, sautéed mushrooms, or jalapeños to enhance flavor and texture.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and substitute with black beans or plant-based sausage for protein.
