These little cups are perfect for a quick breakfast, brunch gathering, or even as a snack.

Ingredients:

3 strips bacon
36g
8 cups potatoes
1200g
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
70g
1 tbsp chives
3g
8 eggs
300g

Instructions:

1. Prepare and Preheat:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with non-stick spray.
2. Cook the Bacon:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until they are crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain and cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
3. Prep the Potatoes:
Wash, peel and grate the potatoes. Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes to prevent soggy hash browns.
4. Mix the Hash Browns:
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, crumbled bacon, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped chives. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
5. Form the Hash Brown Cups:
Divide the potato mixture among the muffin cups, pressing it down and up the sides to form little nests or cups. Make sure there is an indentation in the center for the egg.
6. Bake the Potato Cups:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the hash brown cups are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
7. Add the Eggs:
Carefully break an egg into each hash brown cup. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
8. Bake Again:
Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness. For set whites and runny yolks, 10 minutes should be sufficient. For fully cooked through eggs, aim for closer to 15 minutes.
9. Serve:
Once done, allow the egg cups to cool in the muffin tin for a couple of minutes. Carefully use a knife to loosen the edges of each cup before lifting them out with a fork or spoon.
10. Garnish and Enjoy:
Optionally, garnish with extra chives for a fresh touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

- Use a non-stick muffin tin: To ensure easy removal of the egg cups after baking, use a non-stick muffin tin or generously grease a regular one.

- Cook bacon until crispy: For the best texture and flavor, make sure to cook the bacon until it's crispy. This will add a nice crunch to your egg cups.

- Press the potatoes firmly: When forming the hash brown base in the muffin tin, press the shredded potatoes firmly to create a solid nest for the eggs.

- Season the potato mixture: Don't forget to season the potato mixture with salt and pepper before baking. This enhances the overall flavor of the dish.

- Customize with additional ingredients: Feel free to add other ingredients like diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach to the hash brown mixture for added flavor and nutrition.

Bacon and Parmesan Hash Brown Egg Cups are an ideal way to start your day with a hearty, flavorful breakfast. This recipe combines savory ingredients with a crisp texture for a delightful experience in every bite. Whether you're serving them at a brunch party or enjoying them alone, these egg cups are sure to be a hit.
