Ingredients

• 1 bag frozen tater tots (about 32 oz)
  
  

• 1/2 lb breakfast sausage (or turkey sausage for a lighter option)
  
  

• 1 tablespoon butter
  
  

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  
  

• 2 cups whole milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
  
  

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  
  

• Salt and pepper to taste
  
  

• 4 large eggs
  
  

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  
  

• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the tater tots according to the package instructions, typically for 20-25 minutes, until crispy and golden.
   
   

2. While the tater tots are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes).
   
   

3. Add the butter to the skillet with the sausage, stirring until melted. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
   
   

4. Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the gravy thickens. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
   
   

5. In a separate pan, scramble the eggs over medium heat until cooked through and fluffy.
   
   

6. Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven and place them in bowls. Top with scrambled eggs, pour the sausage gravy over the top, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese (if using).
   
   

7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
