Ingredients

  • 32 oz frozen tater tots
  • 1 lb bulk pork breakfast sausage
  • 8 large egg s
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and arrange tater tots in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; bake for 22-25 minutes until deep golden brown and crispy.
  • While tots are baking, place the pork sausage in a large stainless steel or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the sausage while breaking it into small, uniform crumbles using a stiff spatula until browned and no pink remains, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove the sausage from the skillet and drain on a paper-towel-lined plate to remove excess lipids.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is homogenous and slightly frothy.
  • Melt the butter in a clean skillet over medium-low heat; add the egg mixture and cook, stirring slowly with a silicone spatula, until soft, moist curds form.
  • Divide the crispy tater tots equally among four bowls.
  • Layer the scrambled eggs over the tater tots, followed by the cooked sausage crumbles.
  • Top each bowl with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese; if desired, place under a broiler for 60 seconds to achieve a complete melt.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
