Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy

Once the tater tots are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer them to serving bowls. Spoon a generous amount of the sausage gravy over the tater tots, making sure they are well-covered.

If you’d like to add a fried egg on top, heat a small amount of oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny (or cook longer if you prefer a firmer yolk). Place one fried egg on top of each breakfast bowl for extra richness and flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a pop of color. You can also add extra toppings such as shredded cheese, hot sauce, or sliced green onions to suit your taste. This breakfast bowl is hearty enough to stand on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad.

Make-Ahead & Storage

If you want to make this dish ahead of time, you can prepare the sausage gravy and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it on the stovetop, adding a little milk if needed to restore its creamy consistency. The tater tots can be baked in advance as well and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply bake them in the oven until crispy again.

Tips

• If you prefer a spicier dish, use spicy breakfast sausage and add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the gravy.
• For a vegetarian version, substitute the sausage with plant-based sausage or use sautéed mushrooms for a savory filling.
• If you don’t want to fry eggs, you can serve the casserole with scrambled eggs or poached eggs instead.
