- 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 tbs milk I used almond milk of choice (I use almond)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbs shredded parmesan cheese for topping
- 1 tsp dried cilantro for topping
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!
