Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2-pound bag tater tots (cooked)
Eggs
- 5 large eggs (scrambled)
Meats & Cheese
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (cooked)
- 1 cup Colby Jack cheese
- ½ cup crushed bacon
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Make sure that your tater tots, scrambled eggs, and breakfast sausage are all cooked and ready to go. Preheat your broiler to high to prepare for melting the cheese and crisping toppings.
- Arrange Tater Tots: Spread the cooked tater tots into a single layer on a large baking sheet. They can overlap slightly but avoid piling them, ensuring even heating and crisping.
- Add Toppings: Layer the scrambled eggs evenly over the tater tots, then sprinkle the cooked breakfast sausage, shredded Colby Jack cheese, and crushed bacon on top, distributing everything uniformly for balanced flavor in each bite.
- Broil Totchos: Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler and broil on high for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked tater tots to save prep time; cooking them according to package instructions before assembling works best.
- Feel free to swap breakfast sausage with bacon or ham based on preferences.
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce before broiling.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Customize toppings like adding green onions, sour cream, or salsa after broiling for extra flavor layers.
