Ingredients for Amazing Muffin Cups

  • 2 cups shredded hash browns
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Breakfast Sausage
  • 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • Mexican Blend Cheese
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Green Onion

How to Make Amazing Muffin Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place 12 paper liners in a muffin tin and spray with cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine shredded hash browns, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the hash brown crust is lightly browned.
  6. While the hash brown crusts are baking, cook the sausage according to package directions. Once cooked, crumble and set aside.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped bell pepper.
  8. Remove the muffin tin from the oven. Evenly distribute the crumbled sausage into each muffin cup.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage in each muffin cup.
  10. Sprinkle with chopped green onions.
  11. Bake for an additional 13-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. 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! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
