How to Make Amazing Muffin Cups
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place 12 paper liners in a muffin tin and spray with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine shredded hash browns, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Divide the hash brown mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, pressing it firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the hash brown crust is lightly browned.
- While the hash brown crusts are baking, cook the sausage according to package directions. Once cooked, crumble and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped bell pepper.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven. Evenly distribute the crumbled sausage into each muffin cup.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage in each muffin cup.
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions.
- Bake for an additional 13-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before carefully removing from the muffin tin and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters!
