Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen shredded hashbrowns (thawed and patted dry)
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
Seasonings
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish (Optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the thawed and dried hashbrowns, cooked and crumbled sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until fully combined.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Scoop about one heaping tablespoon of the mixture into each muffin cup. Press gently to compact the mixture evenly within the cups.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and the edges are crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- These bites can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the oven or air fryer for a quick and easy breakfast or snack.
- For extra flavor, add chopped green onions or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture before baking.
