    Breakfast hash brown egg muffins on a white plate with a fork

    How about these breakfast hash brown egg muffins? Don't they look delicious?! Like much of the internet, I am a big fan of breakfast egg and potato recipes made in a muffin tin. What's not to love? The muffin tin portions out your servings for you. In addition, each portion is fully portable. A plate and fork are optional. They store very well and are a great grab-and-go option when you don't have time to cook breakfast.

    • 12-cup muffin pan
    • Wire whisk
    • Medium glass bowl

    🥔 Ingredients

    Breakfast hash brown egg muffin ingredients
    • Hash browns, refrigerated or frozen. If using frozen, thaw them first.
    • Butter, melted.
    • Ricotta cheese.
    • Cheddar cheese, shredded.
    • Monterey jack cheese, shredded.
    • Sausage crumbles or your breakfast meat of choice (optional).
    • Large eggs.
    • Milk.
    • Salt.
    • Cayenne pepper (optional).

    🧀 Instructions

    Step 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. A disposable cupcake liner is not recommended for this recipe.

    Add raw hash browns to a medium glass bowl and stir in melted butter.

    Press hash brown mixture into each well of muffin pan, dividing evenly. The hash brown crust will shrink a little in the oven so be sure to press up the sides all
    the way to the top of each muffin well

    Bake the hash brown crust for 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool for a few minutes.

    Step 2. Meanwhile, prepare the egg mixture.

    Egg mixture in a glass carafe
    Add eggs, milk, salt and cayenne pepper (if using) to a medium bowl. I used small glass carafe with a pour spout (recommended if you have one).

    Whisk mixture vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes.
    Beaten and frothy egg mixture in a glass carafe
    Mixture should be frothy.

    Step 3. Assemble egg muffins.

    With a teaspoon, spread ricotta cheese over each baked and cooled hash brown crust.

    Add shredded cheese.
    Sausage crumbles being spooned into muffin cups
    Add sausage crumbles or your protein of choice.
    Egg mixture being poured over hash browns, ricotta, cheese, and sausage crumbles in muffin cups
    Pour egg mixture over the top, dividing evenly between muffin wells.

    Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the egg muffins are set.

    💡 Variations and Substitutions

    This recipe is versatile. You can substitute the sausage crumbles with any breakfast meat that you like. Here are a few suggestions: bacon crumbles, chopped ham or Canadian bacon, or chorizo. As far as the cheese goes Parmesan, fontina, gruyere, gouda or pecorino would also be good in this recipe.

    🧐 Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you prevent egg muffins from sticking to a non-stick muffin pan?

    You can either spray the muffin pan with cooking spray. We recommend a spray that contains vegetable oil or unflavored coconut oil. You can also rub butter into each well of the muffin tin. We do not recommend that you use a disposable cupcake liner for this recipe.

    Can breakfast egg muffins be frozen?

    Yes. Allow them to cool, then wrap them tightly or store them in an airtight container. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months and in the refrigerator for up to a week.
