Equipment
- Oven
- Large Baking Sheet
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds Tater Tots one standard bag
- 2 cups Shredded Cheese Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend, freshly shredded
- 6 large Scrambled Eggs scrambled and seasoned
- 1 pound Cooked Breakfast Sausage crumbled and cooked, or bacon bits
- 1/4 cup Green Onions chopped
For Serving (optional)
- Hot Sauce
- Sour Cream
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Arrange the tater tots in a single layer on a large baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, optionally flipping them halfway through.
- While the tots bake, prepare the scrambled eggs, cook the breakfast sausage or bacon bits, and chop the green onions.
Assembly
- Once the tots are crispy, remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over them, then add the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage/bacon bits, and chopped green onions, finally sprinkling the remaining cheese over everything.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly, or broil for 1-3 minutes for speedier melting and browning, watching carefully.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, then dollop with sour cream and drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
Serving
- Serve immediately while hot and gooey.
Notes
For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the scrambled eggs or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the finished nachos.
