I began making these breakfast stacks when I couldn’t get everyone to agree on what they wanted with their eggs. We dubbed them “stacks” because you can basically add what you like to them personalizing each one to taste. They make an oh-so-good budget friendly meal that’s requested by my family for supper as often as it is for breakfast or brunch. How to make Breakfast Stacks in the oven:

  • Tater Tots – I used classic barrel shaped tater tots but you could use the round crispy crowns, too,
  • Cheese – Shredded Colby-Jack cheese. You could use cheddar, pepper jack or any of your favorite flavors of cheese.
  • Bacon – Cooked and crumbled classic bacon, You could also use breakfast sausage or diced ham.
  • Eggs – Large  or extra large eggs.
  • Seasonings – Salt and black pepper.
  • Garnish – Green onions, chives or parsley.
  • Sour cream is optional.

Ingredients

  • 48 tater tots

  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled OR 6 oz sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 large eggs
  • salt and black pepper
  • 2 thin green onions thinly sliced

  • Arrange 12 tater tots into 4 separate squares on the pan. Place into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and use a Tbsp to gently press the center of each tater tot crust making a slight indentation to center the yolk of the egg. It’s not necessary to press it flat.
  • Divide 1/2 cup of cheese evenly over each portion of tater tots. Sprinkle the bacon or sausage over the cheese.
  • Carefully crack one egg into the center of each stack allowing the egg white to spread over the tater tots forming a “glue.” Season with salt and black to your taste. Sprinkle the tops of each egg with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for an additional 6-10 minutes or until the egg is cooked to your preference.
  • Sprinkle with green onion and top with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

    Hi
    Instead of tater tots what else can I use
    In srilanka we don’t have tots or hashbrown
    Would French fries Go.for this recipe

  2. Have you ever done this with a beaten egg so the eggs are scrambled instead of soft cooked? Looks like a yummy breakfast idea!

    1. Hi Leah, that’s a great question. I haven’t but, think it would work. It may be better, if you soft scrambled them on the stove, then piled onto the tater tots and topped with cheese in the last 5 minutes of baking.

  3. mmmm…looks delicious, I will try this for Christmas breakfast this year! Do you know if it can be made ahead of time?
