- Frozen Shredded Hashbrowns
- Large Eggs
- Ground Beef Breakfast Sausage
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Diced bell peppers (optional)
- Finely chopped onion (optional)
- Fresh spinach (optional)
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Non-alcoholic Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Smoked paprika (optional)
- Milk or non-dairy milk (about 1/4 cup)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- If using frozen hashbrowns, ensure they are fully thawed. Place the thawed hashbrowns in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels. Press and wring out as much moisture as possible.
- Divide the squeezed hashbrowns evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, firmly press the hashbrowns into the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
- Place the muffin tin with the hashbrown cups into the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the hashbrown edges are lightly golden.
- While the hashbrowns are pre-baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your ground beef breakfast sausage and cook until it's fully browned and crumbled. Drain off any excess fat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the large eggs, a splash of milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- Add the cooked and drained beef breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and any optional sautéed veggies to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven after its initial bake. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Spoon the egg and sausage mixture into each pre-baked hashbrown cup.
- Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for another 18-25 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and lightly golden.
- Let the breakfast cups cool in the muffin tin for 5-10 minutes before carefully running a thin knife around the edges and removing them.
