Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed and patted dry
- 10 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or oil, for greasing the muffin tin
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: Brown the ground sausage over medium heat until fully cooked and crumbly. Drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Hash Browns: Lightly thaw the frozen hash browns and pat dry. For extra crispiness, sauté the hash browns briefly in a hot skillet with a bit of oil until golden but not fully cooked.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs along with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked sausage, hash browns, and shredded cheese until everything is evenly combined.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Grease your muffin tin with cooking spray or oil. Evenly distribute the mixture into each cup, pressing down slightly to fill the spaces and level the tops.
- Bake Until Set: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are firm, golden on top, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.
Notes
- Use a non-stick muffin tin to help muffins release easily without crumbling.
- Don’t overfill muffin cups; leave a small gap at the top to prevent spillage during baking.
- Let muffins cool slightly to help them set perfectly and avoid breaking apart.
- Experiment with seasoning by adjusting spices or adding fresh herbs like parsley for extra flavor.
- Customize cheese types—using sharper cheeses can enhance flavor complexity.
