Creating the Ultimate Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl is simple and enjoyable. Follow these steps for a delicious result:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for the tater tots.
2. Bake Tater Tots: Spread the frozen tater tots on the baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer. Bake according to package instructions until golden brown and crispy, usually around 20-25 minutes.
3. Sauté Vegetables: While the tater tots are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. If using spinach, add it during the last minute of cooking.
4. Cook the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir continuously until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked.
5. Combine Ingredients: Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven. In a large bowl, combine the crispy tater tots, scrambled eggs, and cooked sausage or bacon.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture and stir until well combined. If desired, return the mixture to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
7. Serve: Spoon the mixture into bowls. Top with hot sauce if desired and garnish with fresh herbs.
