    How to make egg hash brown cups

    breakfast egg muffins with hash browns

    Before you start, preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Then add hash browns, ½ cup of shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika to a medium bowl and mix well.

    Spray a 12 count muffin pan very well with the cooking oil spray. Divide the mixture in the bowl into each muffin tin and push down in the middle of each one to create a nest. This recipe will make 18 cups so you can do this in two batches or make one in a 12 count muffin pan and one in a 6 count muffin pan.

    Place the hash brown crust in the oven for 20 minutes and then remove. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees.

    In another medium sized bowl, add your eggs, milk, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, and bacon. Mix this well.

    I love making a big batch of these and freezing them. Then, when I am having a busy morning I just grab a few from the freezer and pop them in the the microwave for 1-2 minutes. You can also make these and refrigerate them from 1-2 days before warming.

    Instead of bacon, you can use chopped up ham, pork breakfast sausage or chicken sausage. Plant based sausage will also work if you are trying to keep this meatless.

      Love this recipe! Adapted to use up some leftover baked potatoes by cubing them and using in place of the shredded ones. These are my family’s new fave breakfast to take in the truck, boat or on busy mornings. They taste as good reheated as they do right outta the oven!
