Ingredients
Scale
- Tater tots (enough to form a crispy base for each bowl)
- 15 eggs
- Turkey bacon gravy (double batch)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Taco cheese blend
- Optional: Pepper flakes, cayenne powder
- Optional: Fresh Mexican-style salsa
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Bake tater tots on parchment for 30 mins, flipping halfway.
- Prepare turkey bacon gravy; add pepper flakes and cayenne if desired.
- Scramble 15 eggs with salt and pepper over medium heat until moist and fluffy.
- Layer crispy tots in bowls, top with scrambled eggs.
- Pour turkey bacon gravy over the eggs and tots.
- Sprinkle with taco cheese; add salsa or extra spice if desired.

Notes
- Use a wire rack to make tater tots extra crispy.
- Undercook eggs slightly; they’ll continue cooking off-heat.
- Gravy can be made ahead and reheated for deeper flavor.
- Top with green onions or cilantro for color and freshness.
- Great for setting up a “tater keg bar” with toppings for guests.
