For the Muffin Base
- 4 cups shredded hash browns
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Egg Filling
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Prepare the Hash Brown Base: In a bowl, mix the shredded hash browns with olive oil to evenly coat. Firmly press the mixture into greased muffin cups to form a crust that will crisp up in the oven.
- Pre-bake the Hash Browns: Place the muffin tray in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) and bake for about 10 minutes to set and partially cook the hash brown crust.
- Make the Egg Filling: While the crusts bake, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until combined. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell pepper, and chopped green onion to the egg mixture for a flavorful filling.
- Fill the Hash Brown Cups: Remove the partially baked hash brown cups from the oven and carefully pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly into each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Bake to Finish: Return the muffin tray to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops have turned golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool for a minute before removing from the tin. Serve warm for a delicious, handheld breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can customize the filling by adding cooked bacon, sausage, or spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
- Using a non-stick or well-greased muffin tin helps prevent sticking and makes removal easier.
- To save time, shredded hash browns can be bought pre-packaged from the grocery store.
- Serve with salsa or hot sauce for an extra kick if desired.
