Bacon and Hash Brown Omelette Muffin Cups
Ingredients List
-
cooking spray
-
3 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
-
3 tablespoons butter, melted
-
1/8 teaspoon salt
-
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
2 cups shredded Mexican-style four-cheese blend
-
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
-
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
-
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
-
6 slices bacon, crisp-cooked and chopped
-
chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
-
Wrap the hash browns in a clean towel and press to remove excess moisture. Combine the hash browns, melted butter, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Press about 1/4 cup of this mixture into the bottom and sides of each muffin cup.
-
Bake the hash browns for 18-20 minutes, or until they are lightly browned.
-
While the hash browns bake, whisk together the cheese, eggs, bell pepper, and crushed red pepper (optional) in a bowl.
-
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and reduce the temperature to 400°F (200°C). Layer the baked hash browns with half of the cooked bacon, followed by the egg mixture and the remaining bacon. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 13-15 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Garnish with fresh chives before serving.
