# Ingredients:
For the bowl base

1 lb (450 g) frozen tater tots
02 -
6 large eggs
03 -
2 tablespoons butter
04 -
Salt and black pepper
For the sausage gravy
05 -
1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage
06 -
1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
07 -
2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
08 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
09 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
For topping

1 cup (100 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
11 -
2 green onions, thinly sliced
# Instructions:
01 -
Arrange the frozen tater tots on a large baking sheet and bake according to package directions until deeply golden and crisp, usually 20 to 25 minutes.
02 -
Crumble the breakfast sausage into a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until no pink remains and the meat is well browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Do not drain the fat.
03 -
Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir for one minute so the raw taste cooks out. Slowly whisk in the milk, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until thickened. Season generously with salt and pepper.
04 -
In a separate nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook slowly, folding them with a spatula until soft curds form. Pull them off the heat while they still look slightly wet.
05 -
Divide the hot tater tots among four bowls. Top with scrambled eggs, then ladle the sausage gravy over everything. Finish with shredded cheddar and sliced green onions.
