Ingredients for breakfast hash brown cups
Ingredient notes
- Hash browns: Make sure you use refrigerated hash browns like Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, they are located in the egg section of your local grocery store.

- Red pepper flakes: are optional but add a great little kick!
How to make this recipe
- Step 1: In a medium bowl add the hash browns 1/2 of the cheese and seasonings and mix until combined.

- Step 3: Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside to drain on paper towels.
- Step 4: In a small bowl whisk the eggs and milk until combined.
- Step 5: Heat a skillet on medium-low heat and add the butter, add in the eggs and cook until done add in the bacon and mix.
- Step 6: Spoon the eggs into the hash brown cups.
- Step 7: Add any extra cheese and bacon on top and bake until melted.

Recipe tips
- Check the hash brown cups using a fork to lift up the side. If they aren’t brown enough add a few more minutes of cooking time.
- Make sure you lightly press the hash browns into the cups to form a “nest” to help them achieve maximum crispiness.
- Don’t buy the pre-shredded cheese, fresh shredded cheese taste better and melts nice and smooth.
