Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
Squeeze out excess moisture from hash browns and press them into the muffin tin forming nests.
Bake the hash brown nests for about 20 minutes, achieving a golden, crispy exterior.
Whisk eggs in a bowl, add cheese and meats or vegetables, season, and combine well.
Fill the pre-baked hash brown nests with the egg mixture, filling generously but not overflowing.
Bake for an additional 13-15 minutes until the eggs are fully set and lightly golden.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin and enjoy!
