Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen tater tots
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked breakfast sausage (crumbled) or cooked bacon (chopped)
- ½ cup diced bell peppers
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings

Instructions
- Preheat and Bake Tater Tots: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Prepare the Eggs: While the tots are baking, whisk together the 6 large eggs with ½ cup milk, and season the mixture with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked but remain soft. Set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: Using the same skillet, add the diced bell peppers and red onion. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the crispy tater tots evenly between serving bowls. Top each bowl with scrambled eggs, cooked sausage or bacon, sautéed vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions.
- Add Optional Toppings and Serve: Add any desired toppings such as salsa, sour cream, hot sauce, or avocado. Serve the breakfast bowls warm and enjoy.
Notes
- This recipe is highly customizable—try adding black beans, spinach, or different cheeses for variety.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the meat or substitute with plant-based sausage.
- To save time, prepare the components ahead of time and assemble just before serving.
