- 20 oz refrigerated hash browns
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese divided
- 1 tsp kosher sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 8 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or half and half
- 4 slices cooked bacon crumbled
- fresh parsley chopped, optional garnish
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius). Generously spray a standard-size muffin tin pan with baking spray; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hash browns, ½ cup cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne. Press the mixture into the bottom, creating a nest.
Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining ½ cup of cheese, eggs, milk, and bacon. Pour into the baked hash browns, then return to the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes or until fully set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tins for 5 minutes before removing.
Garnish with a pinch of salt and pepper, and freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
