Hash Brown Breakfast Cups Recipe Details:

• Preparation time: 20 minutes
• Cooking time: 35 minutes
• Servings: 12 cups
• Equipment: 12-cup muffin tin, mixing bowls, nonstick spray

This recipe transforms simple ingredients into a breakfast sensation that's both delicious and practical.

Ingredients:

For the Hash Brown Base:

• 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and squeezed dry
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Egg Filling:

• 6 large eggs
• ¼ cup milk
• ½ cup cooked crumbled bacon or sausage
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup diced bell peppers or onions (optional)
• Nonstick spray

Directions:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F. Carefully spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray, ensuring easy removal of your breakfast cups.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
3. Divide the hash brown mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to press the mixture down and up the sides, creating a nest-like shape in each cup.
4. Bake the hash brown cups for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they turn golden and crisp. Remove from the oven but leave them in the tin – they'll form the perfect base for your eggs.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended. Stir in the cooked bacon or sausage, shredded cheese, and any optional vegetables.
6. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked hash brown cups, filling each about ¾ full to prevent overflow.

Ready to Bake!

Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes. The eggs should be set and lightly golden on top.
