These hashbrown bacon and egg muffins are the perfect go-to breakfast, and you can eat the leftovers for days! Just reheat the leftovers, and you have the perfect on-the-go meal--perfect for rushed mornings. My kids love them, so they're a great before-school breakfast. While these egg muffins have hashbrowns, bacon and cheese on the inside, you can customize them by adding your own favorite ingredients.
I'm a big fan of grab-and-go breakfasts, so here are a few other of my favorite breakfast recipes that you can meal prep ahead of time:
How to Make Hashbrown Bacon and Egg Muffins
Preheat your oven to 400° Fahrenheit and spray a regular-sized muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted unsalted butter and sea salt. Then add the thawed hashbrowns and mix until the hashbrowns are evenly coated in the butter. Make sure to completely thaw the hashbrowns, or the butter will freeze when you add them together. I find that microwaving the hashbrowns is the easiest and quickest way to thaw them.
Evenly distribute the hashbrowns into each of the muffin tins. Bake the hashbrowns for 10 minutes, and then remove them from the oven. Then decrease the oven temperature to 375° Fahrenheit. The eggs will need to cook at a lower temperature. While the hashbrowns are baking, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Set aside for later.
When the hashbrowns are done baking (remember to decrease the oven temperature to 375° F), evenly distribute the bacon pieces and cheese into each of the muffin tins on top of the hashbrowns. Then pour the egg mixture into each of the muffin tins, filling them almost to the brim. Bake the egg muffins for 15-17 minutes, or until they have set completely. Let them cool for a few minutes, then remove them from the muffin tins. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top if you'd like.
Customize the Recipe
I like adding hashbrowns, bacon and cheese to these egg muffins, but you can switch them out for your favorite ingredients. Just think of whatever you like in an omelette, and it will taste great in these! A great option would be sauteing some onion and bell peppers and adding them in. Just make sure to not add too many ingredients, you don't want to overflow the muffin tins!
You can also take out the cheese and replace the butter with margarine if you want to make this recipe dairy-free.
