Ingredients (Makes 6 servings):

  • 2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed (or fresh grated potatoes)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • Cooking spray (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.

Step 2: Prepare the Hash Browns

  1. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the hash browns using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Step 3: Form the Hash Brown Cups

  1. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the hash brown mixture into each muffin tin cup, pressing it down to form a crust.
  2. Bake the hash brown cups for 15 minutes or until they’re golden and crispy.

Step 4: Prepare the Egg Mixture

  1. While the hash browns are baking, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Add the diced bell peppers and onions to the egg mixture, stirring to combine.

Step 5: Add the Egg Mixture

  1. After the hash browns are crispy, remove the muffin tin from the oven.
  2. Pour the egg mixture evenly into each hash brown cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each cup.

Step 6: Bake Again

  1. Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 10–12 minutes, or until the eggs are set and fully cooked.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Let the hash brown breakfast cups cool for a couple of minutes before removing them from the tin.
  2. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Tips:

  • Make it your own: Feel free to add spinach, mushrooms, or other vegetables of your choice to the egg mixture.
  • Add Protein: You can add cooked bacon, turkey sausage, or ham to the egg mixture for extra protein.
  • Customize the Cheese: Swap out the cheddar cheese for another type, like mozzarella or Monterey Jack, to mix up the flavor.
