Ingredients For breakfast cupcake

  • 1
    20 ounce package pre-shredded hash brown-style potatoes
  • 2
    large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 Tbsp
    flour
  • 1
    small sweet onion, coarsely grated
  • 2
    thick slices deli ham, chopped into small bits (about 1 cup)
  • 1 c
    shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 c
    grated parmesan cheese
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1
    dozen eggs, scrambled
  • chives for garnish

How To Make breakfast cupcake

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F., and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  • 2
    Mix the first seven ingredients together in a large bowl. (Substitute bacon or sausage for the ham, if preferred)
  • 3
    Spoon potato mixture into each prepared muffin cup until about 1/3 full. Gently press the potato mixture down in the middle and up the sides of each cup.
  • 4
    Bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. If the nests have puffed up too much in the center, scoop out a little with a teaspoon.
  • 5
    Spoon a few tablespoons of scramble eggs into each nest and top with chives.
