Crispy Hash Brown Egg cup: A Delicious and Convenient Breakfast Treat
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
- Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. 2. Grate the peeled russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
3. 3. In a large bowl, toss the drained shredded potatoes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil until evenly coated.
4. 4. Evenly distribute the seasoned potato mixture into the muffin tin, pressing the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each cup to form a nest shape.
5. 5. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
6. 6. Remove the muffin tin from the oven. Carefully crack one egg into the center of each hash brown cup.
7. 7. Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 12–15 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness.
8. 8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and return to the oven for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Optionally, sprinkle with diced bell peppers and chopped green onions.
9. 9. Let the Crispy Hash Brown Egg cup cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
