SAUSAGE, EGG, AND CHEESE BREAKFAST TOTS
SAUSAGE, EGG, AND CHEESE BREAKFAST TOTS
These Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Tots are an amazing brunch recipe that fills tater tots with sausage, cream cheese, and scrambled eggs!
I think the sausage is what makes these little bites so awesome. You cook the sausage, drain the grease, and then add some cream cheese and continue to cook until it is all melted together with the sausage. That makes the sausage extra creamy and delicious. When it comes time to stuff the tater tot cups you add a little bit of egg and then a little sausage cream cheese mixture on top and put them back in the over to bake until the tater tots get crispy. Just a couple of minutes before you take them out of the oven add a sprinkle of cheddar cheese over the top, because really, you can never have too much cheese.
When they come out of the oven give them a minute or two to cool down and then pull them out and pop one in your mouth. It’s everything you love about breakfast, hash browns, sausage, egg, and cheese, all wrapped up in one bite of stuffed tater tot deliciousness!
