Poached eggs and roasted vegetables topped with salsa over smashed tater tots. Served with a side of sausage and sliced avocado, these poached eggs with roasted vegetables over smashed tater tots are the ultimate breakfast.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups tater tots, frozen
  • ½ medium onion, sliced
  • 4-5 large mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 sausage, sliced
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons salsa
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 450F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the tater tots in a single layer. Place the tater tots in the oven to bake for a total of 20-25 minutes or until the tater tots are browned on all sides.
  2. While the tater tots are baking, prepare the onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Place them in a single layer in a lightly greased 9x9 inch baking pan or a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and lightly season with salt.
  3. Once the tater tots are baked half way through, remove the tater tots from the oven and turn them over so that they will brown evenly on all sides. Return the baking sheet to the oven.
  4. Place the vegetables on a different rack to roast. That way both the tater tots and the vegetables will be done around the same time.
  5. Meanwhile, boil water in a small pot. Crack an egg into a small bowl. Once the water comes to a boil, gently drop the egg into the water. Crack the second egg into the now empty bowl. Gently drop the second egg into the water. Cook the eggs for about 2-3 minutes before lowering the heat and cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Scoop the poached eggs out of the water using a slotted spoon and place them onto a paper towel to drain.
  6. Cook the sliced sausage in a small skillet until they are browned.
  7. When the tater tots are done, place them on a plate and use a spatula to flatten them. Use the side of the spatula to shape the tater tots. Top the smashed tater tots with roasted vegetables, then the poached eggs, and salsa. Place the sliced sausage on the side with sliced avocado.
  8. Garnished with finely chopped parsley.
  9. Serve the poached eggs with roasted vegetables over smashed tater tots warm.
