Description
These Veggie & Hash Brown Egg Muffins are a delicious, high-protein breakfast featuring a crispy hash brown base, sautéed vegetables, and savory sausage.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen shredded potatoes (hash browns), thawed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color or combination)
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- ½ pound ground chicken or turkey sausage
- 8 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a standard muffin pan to prevent sticking.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken or turkey sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the olive oil or butter. Stir in the shredded potatoes and cook until warmed through and lightly golden.
- Divide the cooked potatoes evenly among the muffin cups, pressing them gently into the bottom.
- Add the bell peppers and red onion to the skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the spinach and cook just until wilted.
- Spoon the cooked sausage evenly over the potatoes, then top with the sautéed vegetables.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling almost to the top.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set in the center.
- Let the muffins cool for about 5 minutes before removing them from the pan and serving.
