You've got the usual suspects, like sausage, eggs, cheese, and potatoes. But wait, they aren't just any old potatoes like hashbrowns or home fries. They're fresh tater tots! For heat lovers, go with spicy sausage, or for something suited for the whole family: a mild breakfast sausage. It's true that this is pretty cheesy, rich, and filling, so if you want to lighten it up, serve it with a side salad. Prep tip: To combine eggs quickly with a whisk, poke each yolk with the whisk so it mixes faster with the whites. Ingredients 1 pound hot or mild breakfast sausage 1 yellow onion, chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped 12 large eggs ½ cup whole milk 1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Cholula ½ teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1 32-oz. bag frozen potato tots 8 ounces Colby-Jack cheese blend (about 2 cups), divided 1 jalapeño, sliced Chopped fresh chives Directions Preheat oven to 350°F.
