Ingredients
  

2 cups frozen tater tots

4 large eggs

1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced bell peppers (use a mix of red and green for vibrant color)

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for cooking

Optional: sliced avocado or salsa for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To make cleanup easier, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Bake the Tater Tots: Evenly spread the frozen tater tots across the lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

      Prepare the Egg Mixture: While the tater tots are baking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the crumbled breakfast sausage, diced bell peppers, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined to ensure a fluffy egg mixture.

        Cook the Eggs: In a skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Pour in the whisked egg mixture and gently scramble the eggs. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove the skillet from heat.

          Assemble the Stacks: After baking, take the tater tots out of the oven and let them cool momentarily. On a serving plate, start stacking by placing a layer of tater tots at the bottom. Top with a generous layer of scrambled eggs followed by a sprinkling of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat this process to create 2-3 layers of deliciousness per serving.

            Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled stacks back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes, just until the cheddar cheese melts and becomes bubbly.

              Garnish & Serve: Once melted, remove the stacks from the oven and sprinkle with freshly sliced green onions for a pop of flavor. If desired, serve with sliced avocado or a dollop of salsa on the side for an added zest.

                Enjoy: Serve the Mini Breakfast Tater Tot Stacks warm and savor this delightful and playful breakfast treat!
