Loaded Bacon and Egg Hash Brown Muffins

Deliciously crispy hash brown muffins loaded with smoky bacon, fluffy eggs, and melted cheese, perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Non-stick cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine thawed hash browns, salt, and pepper. Stir well to mix.
  3. Press a generous handful of hash browns into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to form a crust.
  4. Drizzle olive oil or dot butter over the hash browns in each muffin cup.
  5. Bake the hash brown crusts for 15 minutes or until lightly golden and set.
  6. Remove the tin from the oven and evenly distribute crumbled bacon and diced green onions into each crust.
  7. Crack one egg into each muffin cup on top of the bacon and green onions.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs.
  9. Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
  10. Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding diced bell peppers or a dash of hot sauce before baking. These muffins also freeze well for a quick breakfast option.
