Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 4 eggs
Starch and Base:
- 1 pound tater tots
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Garnish:
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425F (220C) and arrange tater tots on a baking sheet, roasting until crisp and golden, following package guidance.
- Sauté breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, crumbling meat into small, uniform pieces while cooking.
- Dust cooked sausage with flour, stirring thoroughly to create a roux-like base and enhance flavor complexity.
- Introduce milk gradually into the skillet, whisking continuously to prevent lumps and create smooth consistency.
- Season gravy with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, stirring until mixture thickens and becomes velvety, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer crispy tater tots into individual serving bowls, creating a crunchy foundation.
- Generously ladle sausage gravy over tater tots, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese across the surface for added richness.
- Garnish with finely chopped green onions to introduce fresh, sharp notes.
- Optional: Crown each bowl with a perfectly fried or delicately poached egg for extra indulgence. Serve immediately while components remain hot and textures are optimal.
Notes
- Use frozen tater tots straight from the bag for maximum crispiness without extra preparation time.
- Opt for lean breakfast sausage to reduce overall fat content in the dish.
- Experiment with plant-based sausage crumbles for a vegetarian version that maintains similar flavor profile.
- Prepare gravy slightly thinner than desired consistency, as it will continue thickening while cooling.
