1
Cook the Tater Tots
Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the tater tots. Spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Stir halfway through for even cooking.

2
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the ground breakfast sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease if necessary.
3
Make the Roux
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
4
Add Milk
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
5
Season the Gravy
Add black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes to taste. Stir to combine and remove from heat.

6
Prepare the Eggs
In a separate pan, cook the eggs to your preference (fried, poached, or scrambled). For fried eggs, heat a small amount of oil or butter over medium heat, crack the eggs in, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

7
Assemble the Breakfast Poutine
On a large plate or serving dish, layer the crispy tater tots, then generously pour the sausage gravy over the top. Place the cooked eggs on top of the gravy. Serve with toasted bread or halved English muffins on the side.
