Method
 

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (218°C). Spread tater tots evenly on a baking sheet and bake according to package instructions, which is usually around 30 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Gravy: While the tater tots are baking, prepare the chicken gravy using the linked recipe. Optionally, to add some heat, mix in red pepper flakes and cayenne powder to the gravy as it simmers.
  3. Scramble the Eggs: In a skillet over medium heat, crack 15 large eggs and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are just set but still moist.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Once the tater tots are done baking, layer them at the bottom of a large serving bowl or individual bowls. Top the tater tots with a generous serving of the scrambled eggs.
  5. Add Chicken Gravy: Pour hot chicken gravy over the eggs, allowing it to flow down onto the tater tots.
  6. Garnish with Cheese and Salsa: Sprinkle the taco cheese blend over the hot gravy. For an extra kick, add a scoop of fresh salsa on top.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Present the bowls while they are hot. Enjoy your hearty breakfast that’s sure to be a hit!
