Ingredients
  

Hash Brown Cups

  • 20 ounces frozen hash browns thawed

Egg Filling

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices turkey bacon cooked and crumbled

For Serving

  • Chopped fresh chives or parsley
  • Hot sauce optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pat the thawed hash browns dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Divide the hash browns evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Press the potatoes firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each cup to create a nest.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  • Carefully pour the egg mixture into each crispy potato cup.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled turkey bacon evenly over the tops. Add extra cheese if desired.
  • Bake the Hash Brown Egg Cups for 12–15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set.
  • Allow the cups to cool for 2–3 minutes before running a knife around the edges and gently removing them from the pan.
  • Garnish with fresh chives or parsley and serve with hot sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt and flavor.
  • Store leftovers for quick weekday breakfasts.
  • Pair with fresh fruit, avocado, yogurt, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
