For the Tater Tots:
- 30 oz tater tot crowns
- 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the Egg Mixture:
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
For the Fillings:

Instructions
Preheating and Preparing Skillet:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Line the bottom of a 12-inch greased cast iron skillet with tater tot crowns, then line the sides of the pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
Cooking Eggs:
- While the tater tots are baking, heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Whisk together the eggs with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Cook the eggs in the pan until just set; they will cook more in the oven.
Smashing Tater Tots and Adding Cheese:
- Remove the tater tots from the oven and use a spatula to press down on the top and sides of the pizza to smash the tater tots a bit.
- Top with one cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add the scrambled eggs, sausage crumbles, and another cup of shredded cheese, ensuring the cheese reaches the tater tots on the sides of the pan.
Adding Toppings and Final Baking:
- Sprinkle with crumbled bacon and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Notes
Allowing the breakfast pizza to sit for a couple of minutes before serving will help it hold together better, although resisting the temptation may prove difficult!
