These Eggs in Crispy Hash Brown Baskets are a delightful twist on a classic breakfast dish. The combination of crispy hash browns, gooey cheese, and perfectly baked eggs makes for a satisfying and visually appealing meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients:

  • 2 cups shredded hash browns (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or blend)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Add-ins:

  • Diced cooked bacon or sausage
  • Chopped spinach or bell peppers
  • Diced avocado (add after baking)
  • Paprika, onion powder, garlic powder for seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prep the Hash Browns: If using frozen hash browns, thaw completely and squeeze out moisture using paper towels or a cheesecloth. Patting them dry is essential to achieving that crispy texture.
  2. Season and Mix: In a bowl, mix hash browns with olive oil or butter, salt, pepper, and shredded cheese (optional for extra crispiness).
  3. Form the Baskets: Grease the muffin tin generously. Spoon hash brown mixture into each cup and press down and up the sides to form a “nest”. Make sure to leave a cavity in the center for the egg later.
  4. Pre-Bake: Bake the baskets at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, until edges start to brown and crisp.
  5. Add the Eggs: Carefully crack one egg into each basket (or use scrambled eggs if preferred). Season again with salt, pepper, and herbs if desired.
  6. Final Bake: Return to oven for 10–12 minutes, depending on your yolk preference. For runny yolks, check at 8–10 minutes. For firmer yolks, go up to 13 minutes.
