Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
Begin by preheating your oven and preparing the tater tots. Bake them according to the package instructions, typically around 30 minutes, until they’re golden and crispy.
2. Prepare the sausage gravy using the provided recipe link.
For an extra kick, consider adding pepper flakes and cayenne powder to the gravy. The spicy notes will complement the richness of the gravy beautifully.
3. In a skillet, scramble the eggs seasoned with salt and pepper.
Cook the eggs until they’re fully done but still moist. The key is to keep them soft and fluffy.
4. Layer the crispy tater tots at the bottom of each serving bowl.
The crispy tots form a delightful base, providing texture and flavor.
5. Add a generous layer of scrambled eggs over the tater tots.
Ensure each bowl has a good amount of eggs, spreading them evenly.
6. Top the eggs with a hearty pour of sausage gravy.
The rich, creamy gravy should coat the eggs and tots, adding depth and flavor.
7. Sprinkle taco cheese blend over the top.
The cheese will melt slightly from the heat of the gravy and eggs, creating a luscious layer of goodness.
8. If desired, add a scoop of fresh salsa.
This optional addition brings a refreshing contrast to the rich and savory elements of the dish.
