Ingredients

Tater Tots

  • 1 pound frozen tater tots

Eggs and Meat

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon (crumbled) or sausage (cooked and crumbled)

Vegetables and Cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)

Seasonings and Others

  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking eggs)
  • Sour cream or salsa (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Tater Tots: Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the tater tots, usually around 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  2. Cook the Eggs: While the tater tots bake, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk them until well combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet and scramble them until fully cooked and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl, layer the crispy baked tater tots, scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon or sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, and chopped green onions. If you prefer the cheese melted, you can return the assembled bowl to the oven for a few minutes.
  4. Serve: Top the breakfast bowl with optional sour cream or salsa for added creaminess or zing. Serve warm and enjoy your satisfying and delicious breakfast bowl.

Notes

  • You can substitute bacon with sausage or keep it vegetarian by increasing the veggies and cheese.
  • Use bell peppers according to your taste preference or omit if you don’t like them.
  • For extra crispiness, consider broiling the tater tots for the last 1-2 minutes while watching closely to avoid burning.
  • This dish is easily customizable with additional toppings like avocado, hot sauce, or fresh herbs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best texture.
