Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground sausage (spicy or mild), cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and patted dry
  • 6 large eggs, whisked
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or thyme)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces. Drain any excess grease to prevent oily muffins.
  2. Prepare the Hash Browns: Thaw frozen hash browns slightly and pat them dry with paper towels to remove moisture, ensuring they crisp up during baking.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Add cooked sausage, hash browns, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and any optional veggies or herbs. Mix everything thoroughly for even distribution.
  4. Fill Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin or line with silicone liners. Spoon the mixture evenly into each muffin cup, packing gently to hold shape but leaving some room for expansion.
  5. Bake: Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, until tops are golden and eggs are set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing carefully with a butter knife or spatula. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Pre-cook sausage thoroughly to reduce grease and keep muffins light.
  • Drain and dry hash browns well to achieve crispy texture.
  • Use fresh eggs for fluffier and more tender muffins.
  • Don’t overfill muffin cups; leave room for the eggs to expand while baking.
  • Allow muffins to rest before removing for easier handling.
  • Customize with add-ins gradually to avoid overpowering flavors.
