Ingredients
For the Sausage Patties
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (beef or chicken)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried sage (optional)
For the Scrambled Eggs
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the Crispy Tater Tots
- 3 cups frozen tater tots
- Optional: drizzle of honey or maple syrup
For the Cinnamon Rolls
- 2 large cinnamon rolls (store-bought or homemade)
- ¼ cup icing or glaze
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Shape & Cook the Sausage
In a mixing bowl, combine ground sausage with black pepper, garlic powder, and dried sage. Shape into thick patties.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
2. Bake the Tater Tots
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread frozen tater tots evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
3. Make the Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat. Pour in egg mixture and cook slowly, gently stirring until soft curds form. Remove from heat while still slightly creamy to avoid overcooking.
4. Warm the Cinnamon Rolls
Bake cinnamon rolls according to package or recipe instructions until golden and soft. Drizzle generously with icing while warm.
5. Plate & Serve
Arrange sausage patties, scrambled eggs, crispy tater tots, and a cinnamon roll on each plate.
For a sweet-savory twist, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the tater tots. Serve immediately while hot and fresh.
