Description

This is another popular recipe on my blog (See related link!). It’s a VERY popular request for friends who come over for dinner — even though it is breakfast food!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Crispy Crowns (medallion-shaped Tator Tots)
  • Sausage Mixture (Next 7 Ingredients):
  • 1 Tablespoon Oil
  • 1 Small Onion, Diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1/2 Red Bell Pepper, Finely Diced
  • 1 Jalapeno, Finely Diced
  • 1 pound Breakfast Sausage
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • _____
  • FOR SCRAMBLED EGGS
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 5 Eggs, Beaten
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 1-½ cup Shredded Cheese Such As Sharp Cheddar

Preparation

Preheat the oven for the Crispy Crowns (per the package instructions).

While the oven is preheating, chop all of the vegetables in preparation for cooking. Start heating a large skillet over medium heat with 1 TBSP oil.

When the skillet is hot, add the onions to the skillet. While the onions are cooking, add the Crispy Crowns to a baking sheet and bake per the package instructions.

After the onions have cooked for 2 – 3 minutes, add the garlic, red bell pepper, and jalapeño (if using). Cook 1 minute longer.

Add the sausage, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks. Brown and drain. Reduce the heat to low to keep the sausage warm while the other items are prepared.

About 5 minutes before the potatoes are done, heat another small skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. After the butter has melted, add the beaten eggs and some salt and pepper. Scramble the eggs until they are barely firm.

Assembly:
Add the scrambled eggs and hot Crispy Crowns to the cooked sausage mixture and gently stir to combine. Add to individual plates or serving bowls and top with shredded cheese. Serve with toast or warm tortillas.

Want to Lighten it Up?
1) Use reduced-fat sausage. I normally use Jimmy Dean Reduced-fat Sausage.

2) Instead of using 5 whole eggs, try separating 2 eggs with 3 whole eggs (or all egg whites).

3) Use reduced-fat cheese. I normally use 2% cheddar that I freshly grate before adding it to the breakfast bowl. Don’t go overboard on the cheese if you want to keep the calories to a minimum.

4) Use only about 2 cups of the Crispy Crowns (instead of 3 cups) to cut down on the calories, fat, and carb content.

Made this last weekend and it was good. I think it would also be good as a filling for breakfast burritos.
