Ingredients

Scale

Hash Brown Cups

  • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and patted dry
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Egg Filling

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hash Brown Cups: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Press the thawed and dried hash browns evenly into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup, forming a shell. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Bake the Hash Browns: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden and crispy on the edges. Remove from the oven.
  3. Add Eggs and Cheese: Crack one egg into each crispy hash brown cup, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each egg. Season with a little more salt and pepper as desired.
  4. Bake until Set: Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through to your liking and the cheese is melted.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the egg cups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Use a knife to gently loosen the edges if needed, then remove from the tin and serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure hash browns are well-thawed and patted dry to help achieve crispiness.
  • You can add optional ingredients like cooked bacon, diced bell peppers, or green onions for extra flavor.
  • Adjust bake times slightly if you prefer runnier or firmer eggs.
  • Use non-stick spray or line muffin tins with silicone liners for easier removal.
  • These egg cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
