Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake Tater Tots according to package directions until golden brown and crispy.
While tater tots are baking, prepare the Sausage Gravy. In a large skillet, cook Breakfast Sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
Drain off any excess grease. Sprinkle All-Purpose Flour over the cooked sausage and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in Milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Season with Black Pepper and Salt to taste.
Once tater tots are cooked, spread them evenly in a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
Pour the Sausage Gravy over the tater tots, ensuring they are well coated.
In a separate skillet, melt Butter over medium heat. Fry Eggs to your desired doneness.
Top the smothered tater tots with fried Eggs and garnish with Chopped Green Onions. Serve immediately.
