Eating breakfast seems to make a huge difference for me through most of the day. My energy and mood both do a lot better. I think I’d be better off eating the most at breakfast and less at dinner.

Unfortunately, I tend to get up a bit late a lot of time, and then either miss breakfast or eat something small. Lately, I came up with something high-calorie and delicious I can cook quick in the morning to get a good start on the day.

As in my previous recipe, everything is approximate and I encourage you to experiment to come up with something you like better. I have a few techniques I like to use when I make it, but to keep the recipe steps short and clear, I’ll list them here:

• You can prepare a big batch of tater tots and keep them in the fridge so you have some on hand for multiple mornings in a row. Just heat them up in the microwave so they don’t impede the cooking of the eggs. In fact, try to get them fairly hot (maybe 1 minute or 1:20 on high).
• The eggs will get scrambled, but if you put them in the pan with unbroken yolks and then scramble just the whites for a bit, you’ll get a nice heterogeneous mixture of yolk and white in the final product.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. butter
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups tater tots, cooked
• 1 tsp. pepper
• salt, to taste
• ¼ cup shredded cheese, cheddar or mozzerella
• Sriracha sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat butter on medium heat in a skillet or pan.
2. When the butter just starts to bubble, add the eggs.
3. Keep the eggs moving, gradually scrambling them.
4. Add the tater tots after maybe 30 seconds.
5. Cook eggs for about another minute or until they look almost cooked through.
6. Add pepper & salt, then cheese.
7. Remove from heat and mix those ingredients in.
8. Top with Sriracha and serve hot.
