Ingredients
  

2 large russet potatoes, meticulously grated

1 cup sharp shredded cheddar cheese

4 large eggs

1/2 cup diced bell pepper (feel free to use any color)

1/4 cup finely diced onion

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray for greasing

Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease a muffin pan with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray to facilitate easy removal of the hash brown cups later on.

    Prepare the Hash Browns: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated russet potatoes with salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure that every strand of potato is evenly coated with the seasonings.

      Form the Cups: Take a handful of the seasoned potato mixture and firmly press it into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to create a sturdy nest shape. Aim for even distribution of the potato so they crisp up nicely.

        Bake the Hash Brown Shells: Once the muffin pan is filled, place it in the preheated oven and bake for roughly 20 minutes, or until the edges of the potato cups turn golden brown and crispy.

          Prepare the Filling: While the hash brown shells are baking, grab another mixing bowl and whisk the eggs until well blended. Fold in the diced bell pepper, onion, a pinch of salt, and additional pepper for flavor.

            Fill the Cups: After 20 minutes, carefully remove the hash brown cups from the oven. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese into the bottom of each cup. Gently pour the egg mixture over the cheese, filling each cup to the brim without overflowing.

              Bake Again: Return the muffin pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs have set and appear slightly puffed and golden on top.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the breakfast cups to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Using a fork, gently lift each cup out of the muffin pan. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped chives or parsley for a burst of color.

                  Enjoy! These delightful Golden Hash Brown Egg Breakfast Cups are best served warm. Indulge in their crispy, cheesy goodness and start your day off right!
