Base Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen hash browns, thawed and drained
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Herbs and Spices
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage: Brown the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and slightly crispy. Drain any excess fat and set the cooked sausage aside to cool slightly.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the thawed and drained hash browns, cooked sausage, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs or spices. Crack the eggs into the mixture, then stir everything together until well combined.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Grease a standard muffin tin or line with silicone liners. Evenly distribute the mixture into each muffin cup, pressing down slightly to compact the ingredients without overfilling.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the eggs are fully set. Let cool briefly before removing from the tin.
Notes
- Use thawed hash browns and drain any excess water to avoid soggy muffins.
- Leave some room in each muffin cup to allow eggs to expand as they bake.
- Pre-cook any added vegetables like bell peppers or onions to prevent extra moisture.
- Grease the muffin tin well using non-stick spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when fully cooked.
