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 are golden brown and crispy, usually about 20-25 minutes. This creates the perfect base layer that is crunchy and satisfying.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: While the tater tots bake, whisk together the 6 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing for 4 to 5 minutes or until they become soft and fragrant, adding flavor and texture to the dish.
- Scramble the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the softened vegetables. Gently scramble, stirring continuously, until the eggs are just set but still moist. Remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
- Assemble the Breakfast Bowl: In a large serving bowl or individual bowls, place a layer of crispy tater tots. Top with the scrambled eggs and vegetable mixture, followed by the crumbled cooked breakfast sausage or bacon. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve: Serve the bowls warm, adding hot sauce or salsa if desired to give an extra kick of flavor. Enjoy this comforting and filling breakfast that starts your day off right.
Notes
- Customize your bowl with toppings such as avocado slices, sautéed mushrooms, or jalapeños for added flavor and texture.
- To make a vegetarian version, omit the meat and substitute with black beans or plant-based sausage alternatives.
