Ingredients

1 – 1 1/2 cups crispy crowns (tater rounds)
1/2 – 3/4 cup scrambled eggs
1/3 cup canned sausage gravy
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the crispy crowns according to the package instructions until golden and heated through.
Step 2: While the crispy crowns cook, scramble the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until soft and fluffy.
Step 3: Warm the canned sausage gravy in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent lumps.
Step 4: In a bowl, layer the cooked crispy crowns, scrambled eggs, and warm sausage gravy.
Step 5: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and let it melt slightly before serving.
Step 6: Add extra salt and pepper to taste, then enjoy your easy breakfast bowl warm.

Tips & Variations

For added flavor, top your bowl with chopped green onions or a dash of hot sauce.
Substitute turkey sausage gravy for a leaner option.
Use fresh homemade scrambled eggs for a more tender texture.
Add cooked vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra nutrition.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, stirring occasionally to warm evenly. If the cheese has hardened, you can add a sprinkle more to melt during reheating.

How to Serve

A white plate holds a breakfast dish with four distinct sections. On the left, there are golden-brown, square croutons stacked casually. Next to the croutons, thick crispy bacon slices are partly covered by a thick layer of white gravy dotted with black pepper. To the right of the bacon and gravy, fluffy scrambled eggs occupy the plate, topped with shredded orange cheddar cheese for texture and color contrast. Everything is set on a white marbled surface, creating a clean and bright background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Scale

Base

1 – 1 1/2 cups crispy crowns (tater rounds)

Eggs

1/2 – 3/4 cup scrambled eggs

Gravy

1/3 cup canned sausage gravy

Cheese & Seasoning

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the base: If the crispy crowns (tater rounds) are frozen, cook them according to package instructions until golden and crispy. This can be done by baking in the oven or pan-frying to achieve the best texture.
Scramble the eggs: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, whisk and cook the eggs until softly scrambled. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat when they are just set but still moist.
Heat the gravy: Warm the canned sausage gravy in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure an even temperature.
Assemble the bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the crispy tater rounds first. Add the scrambled eggs on top of the tater rounds, then pour the hot sausage gravy evenly over the eggs.
Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage gravy. The residual heat will gently melt the cheese, adding richness and flavor.
Final seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy warm.

Notes

You can customize these breakfast bowls by adding diced cooked bacon or sausage for extra protein.
For a healthier version, use low-fat cheese and egg whites or egg substitutes.
This recipe is flexible and works well with homemade sausage gravy or alternative toppings like salsa or avocado.
To keep ingredients warm before assembling, cover with foil or use a low oven (about 200°F) for the cooked components.
