Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F and arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake according to the package instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
While the tater tots are baking, cook the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving a bit of the bacon grease in the pan.
Add the diced bell peppers to the same skillet used for the bacon and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they are slightly softened. Remove the peppers from the pan and set them aside.
If needed, add a bit more butter or oil to the skillet. Crack the eggs directly into the pan and cook them to your desired doneness, whether that’s fried, scrambled, or poached.
Divide the crispy tater tots evenly among your serving bowls. Top each portion with shredded cheddar cheese, the cooked bacon, sautéed bell peppers, and your freshly cooked eggs.
Garnish the Tater Tot Breakfast Bowls with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve the bowls hot and enjoy this satisfying and delicious start to your day!

Notes

For a more nutrient-dense version, consider adding more vegetables such as sautéed spinach or mushrooms. For a meat lover’s bowl, incorporate additional meats like diced ham or spicy chorizo. To make it healthier, swap regular tater tots for sweet potato tots or use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
