TATER TOT BREAKFAST PIZZA RECIPE
Crispy tater tot crust topped with sausage, cheese, veggies, and eggs, baked into a delicious breakfast pizza.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 (30-ounce) bag frozen tater tots, thawed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 6 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine the thawed tater tots, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Assemble the crust: Arrange the tater tots in a single layer in a 12-inch cast iron skillet (or oven-safe skillet), pressing them together to form a crust. You want them to be tightly packed.
- Bake the crust: Bake the tater tot crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Add toppings: Remove the skillet from the oven. Sprinkle the cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, onion, and bell pepper evenly over the tater tot crust.
- Crack the eggs: Carefully crack the eggs directly onto the pizza, spacing them evenly. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Bake the pizza: Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley (if using). Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Nutrition Note: The provided nutritional information appears significantly underestimated, especially for protein, fat, cholesterol, sodium, and calcium. It's highly recommended to recalculate based on the specific brands and quantities of ingredients used or use a nutrition tracking app. The sausage, cheese, and eggs will contribute significantly to the actual values.
- Crust Crispness: For a crispier crust, you can broil the tater to the crust for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
- Topping Variations: Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. Other great additions include mushrooms, spinach, jalapenos, or different types of cheese.
- Oven-Safe Skillet: If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the tater tot crust to a baking sheet after the initial bake and continue with the recipe.
- Make-Ahead Component: The tater tot crust can be pre-baked ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Add the toppings and bake as directed when ready to serve.
