1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Whisk the eggs in a bowl, then pour them into the skillet; cook and stir until the eggs are set, about 5 minutes.
3

Spread the potato nuggets in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 17 to 19 minutes.
5

Meanwhile, put the green onions and butter into a cold saucepan.
6

Remove the sausage links from their plastic pouches, place them on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a paper towel, and microwave until heated through, 60 to 65 seconds.
7

Cut the sausages into small pieces and add them to the onion-butter mixture; add the bacon.
8

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts.
9

Stir slowly, adding a few spoonfuls of flour at a time, until the mixture forms a paste.
10

Slowly drizzle in the milk while mixing constantly.
11

Reduce the heat to low; cook and stir until a thick gravy forms, about 5 minutes.
12

Remove from the heat and stir in the black pepper and cayenne pepper.
13

Place a tortilla on a microwave-safe plate.
14

Lay 2 slices of Cheddar cheese down the center of the tortilla.
15

Spoon 1/4 of the scrambled eggs over the cheese.
16

Add about 5 potato nuggets.
17

Microwave until heated through, about 20 seconds.
18

Spoon the gravy down the center of the burrito.
19

Microwave for 20 to 30 seconds more.
20

Roll one of the opposing edges around the filling while the burrito is still warm.
