Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 bag Frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed Squeeze out moisture for best results.
  • 1 lb Breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or chicken) Cooked until browned.
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar recommended) Other cheeses can be used.
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Chopped green onions Optional.
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder Optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin pan well.
  2. Cook the sausage in a skillet until browned and cooked through. Drain off extra grease.
  3. Thaw the hashbrowns and squeeze them in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the hashbrowns, cooked sausage, eggs, cheese, salt, and pepper until combined. The mixture should be scoopable and slightly sticky.
Baking
  1. Spoon the mixture into the greased mini muffin pan and press down gently to help hold the bites together.
  2. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the tops are golden and the edges are browned.
  3. Let the bites sit for a few minutes before removing them with a butter knife.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for about 2 months. For optimal reheating, add a small dab of butter on top before reheating to keep them moist.
