Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage Gravy:
- Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth to form a roux.

- Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Cook the Eggs:
- While the tater tots bake, fry the eggs in a separate skillet to your preferred doneness.
- Assemble the Bowls:
- Divide the crispy tater tots into four serving bowls.
- Top each bowl with sausage gravy, a fried egg, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired.
