01 -
1 pound breakfast sausage
02 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 -
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
04 -
2 cups whole milk
05 -
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
06 -
4 cups frozen tater tots
07 -
4 large eggs
08 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
09 -
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish (optional)
# Directions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
02 -
Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until well browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
03 -
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
04 -
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
05 -
Spread frozen tater tots evenly in the bottom of a baking dish. Distribute the cooked sausage over the tater tots.
06 -
Pour the prepared gravy evenly over sausage and tater tots. Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
07 -
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Using a spoon, make four wells on top of the casserole. Crack one egg into each well.
08 -
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the surface. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness.
09 -
Garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving, if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
For runnier yolks, bake the eggs for the minimum recommended time. Frozen tater tots do not need to be thawed prior to baking.
