One of the great things about the Golden Hash Brown Egg Breakfast Cups is their versatility. You can easily customize the recipe to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs by incorporating different meats and vegetables. Consider adding cooked and crumbled sausage, diced ham, or crispy bacon for a heartier option. If you prefer a vegetarian breakfast, sautéed bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms work wonderfully. Try incorporating seasonal vegetables such as zucchini in the summer or roasted butternut squash in the fall for added flavor and nutrition. By mixing and matching ingredients, you can create your perfect breakfast cup!

Ingredients
  

2 cups frozen hash browns (thawed)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

6 large eggs

¼ cup milk

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

½ cup diced bell pepper (any color)

½ cup diced cooked ham or cooked sausage (optional)

Fresh chives or green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Hash Brown Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined.

      Shape the Cups: Lightly grease a muffin tin. Press the hash brown mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to form a cup shape. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon for shaping. Aim for about ¼-inch thickness.

        Bake the Hash Brown Cups: Bake the hash brown cups in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

          Prepare the Egg Mixture: While the hash brown cups are baking, whisk together the eggs, milk, diced bell pepper, and if using, the cooked ham or sausage in a separate bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.

            Fill the Cups: Once the hash brown cups are baked, remove them from the oven. Carefully pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling them almost to the top.

              Add Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the filled cups.

                Bake Again: Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tops are golden.

                  Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the cups to cool for a couple of minutes. Run a knife around the edges to help loosen them. Gently lift them out and place on a serving platter.

                    Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with freshly chopped chives or green onions. Serve warm and enjoy your delightful Golden Hash Brown Egg Breakfast Cups!
