📝 Ingredients:
For the Tater Tot Base:
- 🥔 4 cups frozen tater tots
- 🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ⚫ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Vegetarian Gravy:
- 🧈 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 🌾 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 🥛 2 cups whole milk
- 🧄 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 🧅 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 🌰 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 🧂 Salt and ⚫ black pepper to taste
For the Toppings:
- 🥚 4 large eggs, cooked to your preference (scrambled, fried, or poached)
- 🧀 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 🌱 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 🌶️ Hot sauce (optional)
📋 Directions:
- Cook the Tater Tots:
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer and season with salt and black pepper. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. - Prepare the Vegetarian Gravy Base:
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for 1–2 minutes to create a roux. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. - Season the Gravy:
Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, nutmeg (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Reduce heat to low and keep warm. - Cook the Eggs:
Prepare the eggs to your liking (scrambled, fried, or poached) and set aside. - Assemble the Bowl:
Divide the crispy tater tots among serving bowls. Spoon the vegetarian gravy over the tots, top with eggs, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions. Add hot sauce if desired.
