Main Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/4 cup frozen hash browns
- 1/3 cup spicy sausage
- 1/3 cup white onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Salt & pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
- Additional shredded cheddar cheese
- Additional cooked sausage
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the mini muffins.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Brown Sausage: Place the spicy sausage in a skillet over medium heat and cook until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
- Saute Onions: Using the small amount of grease left from the sausage in the pan, sauté the chopped white onions until they are translucent and tender. This adds flavor without extra oil.
- Fill Muffin Tins with Hash Browns: Evenly distribute the frozen hash browns into the mini muffin tin cups, forming a small base layer for the muffins.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until completely blended, creating a smooth egg mixture.
- Add Sausage, Onions, and Cheese: To the egg mixture, add the cooked sausage, sautéed onions, shredded cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the egg and sausage mixture over the hash browns in each muffin cup, filling them evenly.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish the mini muffins with additional shredded cheese, cooked sausage, and chopped parsley for extra flavor and presentation.
- Storage: Cool completely and freeze any leftovers for a quick and easy breakfast option during the week.
Notes
- You can easily switch these muffins up by using bacon, ham, a variety of vegetables, or different kinds of cheese to suit your taste.
- Make sure to use a mini muffin tin for perfectly sized portions that are great for meal prep and grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Freezing leftover muffins allows for convenient future meals; simply reheat before serving.
- Cooking the sausage first and using its grease to sauté onions adds layers of flavor without needing extra oil.
