Ingredients

US CustomaryMetric

• 4 cups fresh or frozen hash browns thawed
• 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese +1 tbs for egg mix
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp grapeseed or olive oil
• 1 garlic clove minced
• 4 eggs

• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbs shredded parmesan cheese for topping
• 1 tsp dried cilantro for topping

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Grease a muffin tin, set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine your fresh or thawed hash browns, cheese, garlic, spices & oil.
• Press your hash brown mixture evenly into your muffin tin, forming a ‘nest’ in each cup. Bake for 20 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Remove from oven, set aside & set oven temperature to 350°F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, baking powder and your 1 tbs of parmesan cheese. Beat together well. Pour your egg mixture into each of your pre-baked hash brown nests. Sprinkle with dried cilantro. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until eggs are firm, puffed and beginning to turn golden.
• Let cool for a few minutes before gently lifting out of your muffin tin to serve.
• Enjoy!
