How To Make Tater Tot Breakfast Pizza
Tater Tot Crust
Line the bottom of a greased 12-inch cast iron skillet with tater tot crowns (flat, round tater tots, sometimes called potato crowns) and then line the sides of the pan. Bake the tater tots for 15 minutes.
Remove the tater tots from the oven and use a spatula to press down on the top and sides of the crust to smash the tater tots a bit.
Breakfast Pizza Toppings
Shredded Cheese
Top the crust with one cup of shredded cheddar cheese. The cheese will melt and help hold the crust together.
Scrambled Eggs
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Whisk together the eggs and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook the eggs until just set. They will cook more in the oven.
Spread the scrambled eggs over the tater tots in an even layer.
Sausage
Next, sprinkle with cooked, crumbled sausage. You could also use bacon bits or diced ham.
More Cheese
Add another layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Or you could top it with some homemade cheese sauce!
Bacon Bits
Finally, top the tater tot breakfast pizza with cooked bacon crumbles and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Make Ahead and Storage
Make Ahead: To prepare the breakfast pizza ahead of time, assemble it up until the final baking. Allow the pan to cool, cover it, and place it in the fridge overnight. When ready to serve, remove from the fridge and bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes.
Storage: Allow the leftovers to cool and then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to four weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, just smash them a bit more than the tater tot crowns to flatten them out.
They can be baked all at once, but the final dish will look different. To make it that way, pour the whisked eggs over the tater tots in the pan. Add the other toppings and bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until fully cooked.
Double or triple the scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon.
Yes, you can make it in a 9×13-inch pan or another casserole dish if you prefer.

Love this recipe. I added pepperoni, green onions and red pepper to make it look festive. It was fantastic! Theres so many things that can be done to this recipe. Could even make it a Mexican dish with taco meat as one if the layers. Great ideas! I even purchased a cast iron skillet just for this dish. I loved that too. Thanks so much.
Tonia says
Thank you so much! I’m delighted to hear that you enjoy it as much as we do!
Kelsey says
Made this tonight for dinner, just made 1 change, and thats adding spinach while cooking the eggs! It was DELICIOUS, thank you!!
Molly says
Can this be made the day before ?
Tonia says
Yes, you can make it the day before. The tater tots won’t be as crispy when reheated.
KT says
Not having bacon or sausage on hand I diced turkey pepperoni in place of the meat. Then when it was done in the oven I drizzled pizza sauce on top.
Claudia Boettcher says
I need to feed a crowd – if I triple the recipe & use a roaster pan how long wld I have to bake it
Tonia says
The tater tots should bake in 16-18 minutes as long as they are in a single layer in the pan. Once you add the toppings, you only need to bake it until the cheese is melted and the eggs are heated through. I’m guessing that 10 minutes will be enough just like in the single pan.
Joan Carney says
Has anyone tried making this with Veggie Tots?
Amanda Brock says
So I made this for the first time tonight and I sauté my peppers and onions then added my eggs to scramble it all together. I didn’t have bacon so I did a pound of breakfast sausage and it was delicious. I did add more time to my tater tots to add more crispy to them before I added my stuff on top. I also double my eggs and it was delicious!!! Thanks for sharing this!
Maura says
Did you guys cook sausage and bacon before baking, or just crumble it in?
Tonia says
Hi Maura,
Yes, the sausage and bacon are cooked first and then crumbled before adding them to the pizza.
Enjoy!
