Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage
4 cups shredded hash browns, thawed and patted dry
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
cooking spray
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and generously grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbled, then drain the excess grease and let it cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Stir in the hash browns, cooked sausage, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, and the green onions until evenly combined.
5. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing it down lightly so each bite holds together.
6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese over the tops.
7. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are set and the edges are deep golden brown.
8. Let the bites rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then loosen with a knife or small spatula and serve warm.
Notes
Use thawed hash browns and remove as much moisture as possible so the bites crisp instead of steaming.
Let the bites cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan so they keep their shape.
Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer for the best crispy edges.
